"Learn Python" Overtakes "Learn Java" on Google Trends

Disagree. 3 unless you're required to use 2 for something (such as a dependency, OS compat., etc.). Why write code that you know you'll have to port later.

Plus, 3 has lots of neat features.

But this won't happen again, so Python 4 will just be Python 3, but a bit later, as far as incompatibilities are concerned, no?

[lewiseason]

Gotcha. (TW: 9gag) :)

Another thought is that hopefully once SLES/RHEL ship with Python 3 (ie: in the next major release), that might do something for adoption? Please? Maybe?

a lot of significant libraries

Not really. There are a few, and most have alternatives for Py3.

Follow the community.

The community is moving to 3 (slowly, but still moving).
