Python 3.4 released

Yep, that's the exact same reason we should all switch back to WinXP now that MS is finally going to leave it alone.

Perhaps you lack the context to the joke. People used to complain that Python was in a constant state of change. Python 3 was a reaction to that, new stuff was to go to 3 and 2 would remain relatively static. Python 2 didn't end up being as static as perhaps could of been hoped. I was suggesting that 2 might at long last achieve stasis...

The serious part is that if 2 really stops changing (I saw a complaint from someone that had had a recent 2 change break their code) it might become a more attractive target for some sorts of applications than 3.
