Why? Most Python-Dev people have day jobs, and the version of Python 
that they use in their day job is subject to exactly the same outside 
pressures as everyone else ("RedHat ships with Python 2.6, so that's the 
version we're using").

So for the Python 4 survey, I propose to have just a single question:

* Have you heard of Python 4?

That will prove that Python 4 is even faster than Python 3 :-)
Of course, that is also because it has a JIT compiler, and runs
on 16 cores with no GIL.

Yes and no. I answered "more 2.x" to that question because my current
projects have dependencies (Twisted in particular); however, I also
answered that I ported code - which actually wasn't my own, and I ported
it only to promote Python 3.

Martin

Yeah, but I'd still expect more people on Python-dev to at least have
used Python 3 and possibly be maintainers of libraries that have been
ported to Python 3 etc.

Or moreso in some cases *cough* ;)

Cheers,
Nick.

P.S. We're actively working on eliminating that particular rationale.
While some of the key elements have already been released, there's
still more work to be done :)

Indeed -- I expect it to be totally non-representative of the broader
Python community.

Everyone on python-dev is at least interested in the process of moving
Python forward.

And Py2 is frozen, so there really is no reason to be on this list if
you primarily care about Python2.

There are an enormous number of people that use pyton to simply get work
done, and many, many, of those are still using only 2, if only because of
inertia.

It might be interesting to toss that survey out into the wild more and see
what happens...

It's already been tossed in the wild, since the message originally was
posted on python-list.
Feel free to spread the URL a bit more.

I agree, but I expected the question:

„Do you plan to write/port some of you Python 2.x code to Python 3.x 
next year“ (at work)

I don't think there's a publicly-available results page yet.  I'll
summarize them after more people have had a chance to fill it out.

I'm trying to get it onto planet python - that should help.  But I
created the blog post without a Python label initially, and added it
afterward - not sure if that'll work or not.

I submitted it to hacker news[1] and it has been sitting around #5 on 
the front page for about 3 hours now. That should've helped broaden the 
responses a bit.
