It seems like in the time I've been using python (about 18 months, really) the community has really stepped up the pressure to switch to 3.x. The vast majority of what I use day-to-day has now been ported (just noticed Paramiko support has been merged to master two days ago[1], so Fabric'll follow rapidly after that), and every time I see a new book come out it demands Python 3. I will try to be a good boy and use it going forward (I already find it more useful for CSV and other file I/O type tasks thanks to the unicode support, but am reliant on mysql for some routine drudgery as well).
