Way to miss the point, very impressive indeed! michaelochurch brings up a great point that having even the most minor slip in your records will too often result in a disproportionately, unreasonably unfair reception in the job market:

I hope so too. Maybe this is the way we'll get good, solid Python3 support for Django, quickly. I'll be more than happy to fund (in part) efforts for getting work done on other Django plugins so they work with Python3. The Django book can d
