Python 2.7 is still dead. >Short version: Python 2.x is legacy, Python 3.x is the present and future of the language >Python 3.0 was released in 2008. [6 years ago] The final 2.x version 2.7 release came out in mid-2010 [4 years ago], with a statement of extended support for this end-of-life release. The 2.x branch will see no new major releases after that. 3.x is under active development and has already seen over four years of stable releases, including version 3.3 in 2012. The next release is the upcoming Python 3.4 in early 2014. This means that all recent standard library improvements, for example, are only available by default in Python 3.x. https://wiki.python.org/moin/Python2orPython3 https://wiki.python.org/moin/Python2orPython3 There is still software for DOS around, and DOS is still dead.
