Maybe what it means is that Python3 is just fine, but Google App Engine =
isn=92t seeing a lot of development/improvement lately, that it=92s just =
in maintenance mode. Imagine that, Google not finishing/maintaining =
something.

I wish amongst the periodic maelstroms of Python2 vs Python3 =
handwringing, people would look at the new project starts. When I work =
with someone=92s old library that they=92ve moved on from, I use python2 =
if I have to, but anytime I can, I use python3.

Personally, I wish they=92d start python4, sure would take the heat out =
of the 3 vs 2 debates. And maybe there=92d be a program called =
twentyfour as a result.=
