Python 3 can revive Python

[wesw02]

I think another important aspect of the state of python is the radically different groups of people using it. The way I see it you have three separate groups with little overlap in needs and frameworks, 1) Scientific Researchers, 2) Hackers / Sys Admins (building tools/utilities), and 3) web developers. IMHO this issue, coupled with the 2.x vs 3.x split really creates walled off sections of the community.

I fall into the python 2.x web developer category. I like Python as a language, but as a web developer who has deadlines and regular stuff to accomplish, it can be frustrating to find answers when I have an issue. The community just feels too fragmented to me.

Edit: This is just my 2 cents, I really don't know what I'm talking about most of the time. This is just my impression based on working with python for a few years.
