I didn't, and I don't, recommend Python3 over Python2 for just any
purpose.I recommended Python3's subprocess module over the Python2's
subprocess module if that is indeed possible.

I happen to be one of those that feels this transition was terribly
mis-handled and that there should have been provisions to allow both
versions to either be maintained together or to allow modules from both
versions to work together.  I don't really have a huge preference for
either version; but, having to deal with both of them has given the
project a black eye.
