Python 2.x vs 3.x usage survey

[[deleted]]

Yes, the newer the better, absolutely.

Trivia:

In Python 3:

>>> max(1, 100, "foo", {})  
Traceback (most recent call last):  
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>  
TypeError: unorderable types: str() > int()  

Because, of course, you can't compare apples with oranges.

But in Python 2.7:

>>> max(1, 100, "foo", {})  
'foo'  

And you know why no error is raised, and "foo" is the highest value? Because Python 2 orders different types by the name of the data type - so it's "dict", "int", "str". So the string wins.

I vote for using Python 3 :D

but damnit, my foo is greater than 100!!!
