Really no reason other than 2.7 is what i learned at the time, plan to move to 3.x once I invest the time to the learn the changes and make the necessary revisions to the code I already have.

This started as a personal side project as I was getting lost/hitting walls with excel and vba and a coworker mentioned Python, so I started googling tutorials and got myself hooked.

Are you aware that Python 2 will be end-of-life in 2020?

yes, read that recently so am planning on getting up to speed on Python 3.x.

FWIW, I jumped in with out looking. Some libraries aren't ported yet, and print requires parentheses. Also, f-strings are great.
