The Python developpers suggest to use 2.x as long as you can, and use the conversion tools to translate existing code from 2.x to 3.0 code whenever 3.0 is ready.
that sure is an interesting take -- if I state I want to use python 3 here and now, will guido come and grab me by the jacket, shouting "use it if you dare!" in that sweet dutch accent of his? ;)
In my own sweet Dutch accent I can say that I really said 'suggest' and not 'must'.
But what I meant to convey was that 2.x and 3.x should be viewed as separate versions that are incompatible. So i think they should be handled separately.
