This is my sense of the python world too. Python3 is definitely an improvement but it will be a long while yet before things are all either python3 or compatible with both 2 and 3. A former colleague has documented this in a few blog postings: http://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/python/Python3MigrationMagnitude http://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/python/MyPythonVersions So, at the very least, we'll want side by side 2 and 3 for some time.
