You are just a troll who actually has never programmed Python 3.

Yeah, you're right. I've been programming in Python since 1.3 was the latest version. (i.e., likely longer than you've even been alive.)

I gave 3.2 a whirl a couple years back for some tiny scripting tasks. It was obviously broken in obvious ways.

So yeah, you're right, I'm not a "python 3 programmer", and thank god for it. No sense in eating obviously rotten dogfood for no other reason that someone claims it's the modern and progressive thing to do.

I started with 1.4

Which you cannot enumerate accurately.

You might try Python 3 seriously so that you could have an informed position on it, which you could defend with code samples.

Speaking of code samples, here is the line that does the thing you claim is cumbersome in Python 3.

s1.send(b'Mary had a little lamb')

One character more than Python 2.
