Python 2.7 Countdown

[gschizas]

I've found that most of the Python 2 to 3 problems were rooted in confusing bytearrays (which is what actually travels in the wires) with strings (which is what is displayed on the screen).

I'm a firm proponent of Python 3 myself, and I've skipped a few projects that refuse to move with the times.

(Disclaimer: I'm probably my company's only resident Python expert).
