Unless you are tied to Python 2 in some way, go for Python 3 and don't
look back. There are a few major software projects that still do not
support Python 3 (more and more are getting ported or replaced as time
goes on), and many production systems are still using Python 2, but
don't let /potential/ roadblocks keep you away from Python 3. Another
thing to note is that, at least AFAICT, Jython, IronPython and PyPy are
not going to support Python 3 any time soon, so if you need to use one
of them, Python 2 is the way to go.
