The only thing I haven't liked when comparing 2 to 3, is how 3 is even slower.

CPython is so slow, they really should start taking performance more seriously.

Taking a guess here: Maybe all the people who are concerned about performance have moved to PyPy?
That or using NumPy for any arithmetic bottlenecks.

But the new dict and a few other optimizations in 3.6 will make attribute lookups pretty close to C++ speed if not the same.

They don't support 3 :(
What, PyPy? Their homepage states 3.3.5 compatibility: http://pypy.org/
And they're skipping 3.4 going straight to 3.5
Oh, I am sure they didn't last time I checked. Thank you.
