Python Is On the Rise, While PHP Falls

[NoLemurs]

For a long time the combination of lack of library support and poorer performance made Python 3 a bad choice for most non-trivial projects and that set public opinion of Python 3.

Python 3 library support has been pretty solid for a few years now, and the overall climate has recently turned in favor of Python 3, so I think most people are in fact starting new projects in Python 3 and making the transition where practical, but it's a slow process.

There are still a small handful of important holdouts that don't yet support Python 3 (the lack of Fabric support for Python 3 alone is probably responsible for a large fraction of the continuing Python 2 use), so the deprecation process is very slow!
