Python 3 really is almost 7 years old and it is moving forward. The Wall of Shame has become the Wall of Super Powers. The scope for Python 3 was different than Perl 6.
Perl 6 was to be ageless and for all time. Python 3 was a fix to a broken issues in Python 2 having redundant ways to do things.
> Python 3.0 was developed with the same philosophy as in prior versions. However, as Python had accumulated new and redundant ways to program the same task, Python 3.0 had an emphasis on removing duplicative constructs and modules, in keeping with "There should be one— and preferably only one —obvious way to do it". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Python
I don't mind there being more than one way to do things.
A completely different issue. Python3 is an upgrade to Python2. Perl 6 became a new language, while Perl 5 still chugging along at full speed (latest stable release was just 4 months ago).
