Forgive the snark, but are we all moving to Python 3 now? Every time /I/ try to use Python 3, I look for code samples and libraries written in 3, but they're all sitting around version 2.7. Documentation searches bring up 2.7 docs for most things I want to do.
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Python 3, and many of the changes seem fairly sensible, but I shouldn't have to fight against it to do something that works perfectly well with minimal effort in 2.7. I guess that makes me a curmudgeon, but I don't want to dick around with Python from a theoretical standpoint, or take a great deal of time exploring its features. Since I usually only use it for quick-and-dirty scripts, this is my ideal use case. I honestly don't care how much better iterators and GC are handled with it.
