Somewhat related. Only yesterday I ported/reimplemented a software
package to python3. On the finish line, I ran into a problem: xlwt
only supports 2.6, 2.7 and 3.3. My system has python3.2.

So I backtracked to python2.7.

So not only do we have a schism between python2 and python3 but there's
one between 3.0 and 3.3. I can't help but wonder if PEP 414 was a
mistake.

Serves me right for being an "early adopter."
