I know that's why I returned to 2 after trying 3. For example BeautifulSoup (HTML parsing/scraping) has only supported Python 3 since October '13. There was nothing wrong with 3, it was just dependency issues.

Plus, when 2.7 was released it was done with a promise of ~6 years of support[0] to aid in the transition to 3.x. I think the definition of success here needs to take that into account.
