Exactly. The following story also confirms that: always use up-to-date 
software (not only for security reasons).

We recently upgraded from Django 1.3 to 1.4 to 1.5 to 1.6 to 1.7 and now 
to 1.8. It was amazing how much code (and workarounds) we could remove 
by simply using standard Django tools (small things but used hundreds of 
times).

Thus: Python 3.

Best,
Sven
