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. . .
