Re Py3, the issue at hand is that the community has been planning Py3 for
years and has agreed to move to it.  This migration is like a slinky, and
hard to see from the surface, but we're really in a state where projects
that don't migrate are replaced with newer projects with the same
functionality.

Any new Python-based projects should be Py3 based.  It's self-defeating to
do anything else.

Any new Python programmers should learn Py3 to start with so they don't have
to unlearn the poor programming practices that are no longer supported in
Py3.
