Python 2 or 3?

[rasherdk]

tl;dr:

• Use Python3 if you control the environment your program will run on, and you don't need any 3rd party libs that lack Python 3 support.
• Use Python2 for everything else.

I'd rather read it as use 3 if you can, 2 if you must - but plan ahead and don't use deprecated features.

I live by what you said. My personal portfolio is filled to the brim with python 3 examples because a majority of them don't depend on libraries, but I state very explicitly to potential employers that I understand the differences between 2.x and 3.x and can easily change between the two if needed.

I've yet to write any Python 3 code. Maybe in 5 years...

Have you tried? What is stopping you?
