Python 2 is still more widely used than Python 3, but the sort of people who blog, tweet, and give talks at conferences tend to be early adopters of new technologies, so if we were to judge by public discourse rather than downloads, we would think the reverse. Similarly, I agree the Notebook is what's talked about most, but I haven't seen any data showing it's more widely *used* by "dark matter developers" [1] than plain-text editors - I'd be grateful for pointers if anyone has 'em.

Thanks,
Greg

These days most of the initial coding in Python in scientific computing and data science communities is done in the Jupyter environment. Working in the command line is not how practitioners code in Python.
