These figures can't possibly be true. No-one is using Python 3 yet. ;-)

python.org should have a poll/settings for active python.org accounts to allow people mark when they switch to Python 3.

FWIW I heard a few days ago about a UK government department, HMGCC (Her

Majesty's Government Communication Centre - based in Milton Keynes), who use Python for research projects. They switched to using Python 3 a while ago.

if that == True: front_page.response(news_template.render("News About Her Majesty switched to Python 3"))

Can't stand to do a +1 for the news item.

All the best,
