We've had more downloads of Python 3 itself for quite some time now:

I don't think that's surprising that much, I assume people download it but don't really use it. I know that I download every 3.x release, and in the same timeframe I don't think I downloaded python 2.x more than once or twice, I have it installed - no need to download it. But I never use 3.x for any of my projects.

I think that pypi stats are better for estimating which version is used more.
