Well, this quote is a little pessimistic because now almost everything is either Python 3 compatible or has been replaced with something that is and it's only been 7 years. :P

Even NumPy and SciPy work on Python 3 now, and it's not like there are massive differences between Py2 and Py3 anyway, so generally speaking it shouldn't be hard for a noob to revert to Py2 if it becomes inexplicably necessary.

It's time. All new code should be in Python 3.

Call me when I can get system packages for all of these libraries (particularly those with shared library dependencies) in Python3.

It will happen someday, but not yet.
