Here's what I see there (expanding on what I said in the other post,
which was based on one table further up, URLs by hit count) for
December:

3.3.3: 1214571
- amd64 627672
- win32 586899
2.7.6: 1049096
- win32 607972
- amd64 441124

The next highest number is 167K downloads, so I'm going to ignore
their figures as they won't make more than 15% difference in these
stats. This is 2263667 total downloads of the current versions of
Python, 46% 2.7.6 and 54% 3.3.3. That's not incredibly significant
statistically, but certainly it disproves the notion that 3.x isn't
used at all.
