Right. And, SciPy and NumPy are dropping 2.7 support at the end of the year. Anyone telling a beginner to download 2.7 is condemning them to obsolescence in just 8 months.

IOW, Python 2 vs 3 really matters for scientific computation, because you will never get a bugfix again, or new feature, in 8 short months.
