+1 on ending with 2.6.

I'm the maintainer of 3rd party Python 3-only packages and have ported a few modules that we needed with some help from the 2to3 tool. It's really not a big deal - and Py3 really is a massive improvement.

The main thing holding back the community are lazy and/or obstinate package maintainers. If they spent half the time they've put into complaining about Py3 into actually working to upgrade their code they'd be done now. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
