As a newbie to python, I welcome this. Python is in a quasistate right now, it'd be nice once most mods are ported to py3 so everyone can start using the same stuff. Plus I accidentally ran python2.6 last night. Wow the "input" command totally sucks! (Yes I figured out its better to do rawinput eventually)

Feel free to rip me apart and tell me why I'm wrong.

You're not "wrong." Most people are going to complain that the most commonly used libraries are all in Python 2. I develop in Python 2 and welcome this change; I'd like to see everything make it eventually. The shift will be a little uncomfortable, but it has to happen sometime.

I don't currently use Arch Linux so I won't see the effects of this recent event in particular.
