"Python 3.x may be less useful than 2.x"
Is this still the party line? http://docs.python.org/dev/faq/general.html#how-stable-is-python

I didn't mean to start another 2 vs 3 flame war, but I think this answer should mention that 2.x is now ultimately stable with no major releases planned for the future and an extended maintenance period.

Not flaming! I just think it's still a fact. Eventually it won't be, and that page will need to change.

That would be a good addition, yes. -Fred -- Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake at acm.org> "A storm broke loose in my mind." --Albert Einstein

*Learning* Python 3.x is certainly a more pleasant experience than 2.x. Could this FAQ entry say something about that? It seems to me this would reflect the (sort of) common opinion stated elsewhere (a.k.a. “3.x if you can, 2.x if you must” (== depend on third-party libraries)). really-non-flamewar-inducing-ly yours, É
