I've little doubt that the folks using Python are making the decisions that are right for them. The underlying problem that I saw in my survey was that Python 3 broke compatibility while not offering developers a compelling reason to update their code beyond it being the right thing to do. Hence, folks are taking their time doing so. Developing in Python also seems an either/or proposition: either you target v2 or v3. This puts library authors in the unenviable position of supporting two code bases.
