Also Beazley's Python Essential Reference Fourth edition discusses
programming in 2.x with an eye on 3.x once the third party issues are resolved.

The implication being there never was a 3.0?
There was, but like you, many folks are wary of *.0 anything, so in
a way it was treated like beta version.
However, the real stumbling block for real use is third party
package support -- I know I'm dead in the water until numpy and
wxpython and PIL, and??? are ported to py3.
numpy is on it's way, but it will be at least 6 months, probably
longer. I don't think anyone's really started on wxPython yet.
So it will be a while.
Anyway, a lot of folks are still using 2.3 or 2.4, so I thin 2.7
support will be around for LONG time.
