How complex do you want it to be? One can post filter the results
for relevance I suppose.

My only gripe is the "do you write more code for 2.x or 3.x" question;
I do in fact write more python 2 (I suppose), but since I'm striving
to make my codebase portable between 2 and 3 the question is a poor
fit. There is at least the "do you write code to run on both?" later.

Cheers,
