[Python-ideas] Is it Python 3 yet?

[Victor Stinner]

Hi,

The download button of https://www.python.org/ currently gives the
choice between Python 2.7 and 3.6. I read more and more articles
saying that we reached a point where Python 3 became more popular than
Python 2, Python 3 has now enough new features to convince developers,
etc.

Is it time to "hide" Python 2.7 from the default choice and only show
Python 3.6 *by default*?

For example, I expect a single big [DOWNLOAD] button which would start
the download of Python 3.6 for my platform.

If we cannot agree on hiding Python 2 by default, maybe we can at
least replace the big [DOWNLOAD] button of Python 2 with a smaller
button or replace it with a link to a different download page?

Latest news: Django 2.0 and Pyramid 2.0 will simply drop Python 2 support.
