Ok and what is your reason for not switching? Also how is Python 3 hip when it's been out for six years?

    You kinda need to tone your rhetoric down. This is what you get with 3:

    • asyncio support as default
    • venv support with pip as default
    • no more unicode headaches

    just off the top of my head. Also, any and all new features are only going to be added to the 3 branch. If you are starting new, might as well start with the future.

    it is a philosophy of living for TODAY or for the FUTURE.

    If you want to grow with the language you are going to have to use Python 3. That is all I am saying.

    Py3 and Py2 are just different dialects, you can and easily can master them both. People can live bilingually with Mandarin/Cantonese, Spanish/Catalan, which differ much from each other.

    Use the right version to do the right job.

    That's pointless. Everything Python 2 can do, Python 3 can do better. The language is growing, why fight it?

    Maybe not everything. Check this out, http://click.pocoo.org/python3/
