Why has python3 been created as a seperate language where there is still python2.7 ?

Rick, fix your mail reader/sender, your lines aren't wrapping
properly.

Stefan said "rarely used". Until you count all keywords & built-ins in
those files and provide a relative basis of comparison, you're not
saying anything here.

It's a good thing there's no open flame around given the sheer number
of strawmen you stuff into your posts.

No one made any such claim about "neophytes", just that logging can be
better than print() as a general debugging tool.

So you couldn't even be bothered to do it right, but you're happy to
form a noisy opinion on this crap, and now the onus is on someone else
to correct the ignorance you've pushed onto this list. Again.
