About Python 3

This article, written in 2013, is a critical reflection on the Python 3 migration five years after its initial release. The author, an early adopter, expresses despair over the extremely low adoption rate (under 2% of PyPI downloads) and lack of Python 3-only code. It examines the reasons for this, including a lack of urgency from parallel Python 2 support, and discusses the negative impact on Python's own development due to a missing feedback cycle from the broader community.
