I don't really get what your on about here. You are talking about loving python and that python 3 is a problem without actually listing what your problems are with it (have you used python 3.3 (its good)). Is it that adoption is slow? Lets take PHP for example they have exactly the same problem PHP 5.3 is still massively used though 5.5 is out. I am a python developer (currently using 2.7 but we are in the process of refactoring ready to port to python3). I have started porting personal projects as well. The main reason python3 uptake has been slow is two main reasons. Existing projects are python 2 and until recently the default versions on operating systems have been python 2.7. A large number of open source projects are more than happy to run on python 3 and 2.7. So my question to you is what is really the issue you have with python 3? So to answer you last question what can be done to save python? Nothing it doesn't need saving it needs education and a community who don't go around python 3 == bad; because its really not. People need to take a look at there projects and simply port them so they are python3 compatible.
