    <p>Since I'm not strictly python developer please don't flame me just for the question.</p> <p>I'm wondering about Python 3k, that from my point of view, might be some kind of misconception. Or quite in-relevant step forward (I'm taking into account the 2.6 and 3k releases, which was almost one after another). Before the flame will start, I'll explain my position at this topic and I'd assume couple facts from my work environment.</p> <p>I work in a cutting edge market data solutions company, we use mainly functional languages to high throughput data analysis. But we also use python as a second technology for smaller tasks, scripts, process management &amp; monitoring.</p> <p>Some of my colleagues write more <em>serious</em> production applications based on python technologies, but:</p> <ul> <li><strong>ALL</strong> of our customers use python 2.6,</li> <li>because of above we have quite strong 2.6 toolset and internal/external support,</li> <li>We still plan to develop 2.6 apps.</li> </ul> <p>Every small tool development is also based on 2.6 platform.</p> <p>Additional what I observe:</p> <ul> <li>at this point any new linux distribution (in our infrastructure) has python 2.6 on the board, </li> <li>most third party modules are developed for 2.6 version,</li> <li>great part of resources in the network is also dedicated for 2.6</li> </ul> <p>(I know that You can port most of this to 3.1.x, but it's too big overhead here.)</p> <p>I know that Py 3k is still growing but, there is already <a href="http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.1.1/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">python 3.1.1</a>, but no one "cares" (in my environment). I've a strong feeling that Python 3k overheads are stopping it for moving this great technology into new dimension.</p>
