It was about a year ago that I `ln -s -f /usr/local/bin/python3.4 /usr/local/bin/python`, and I haven't looked back since. Getting used to print() took a little while, and I found a tiny handful of holdout libraries that I needed to convert to Python 3. But it's been smooth sailing for a long time now, and it's just loathesome when I have to go back to Python 2 to fix something that worked fine in Python 3. I admit not everyone is in a position to do that. Just my experience.
