OK so let me just say right off that I am *not* a python *anything*. I can read python, and I read bogs post etc ( news ) about python, and everything I've read says stick with 2.7. The reason behind this is simply maintainability. It can be really *really* hard to maintain code using 3.0 versus 2.7 specific libraries.
Which may / may not matter if you're only maintaining a small code base. . .
