I didn't even know LO supported Python scripting, but I wouldn't count
such indirect use anyway.  I meant I don't know any Python programmers
(at least in person) who use Python 3 for their daily coding.  I think
this is mostly because they (and I) use whatever is in the OS distro,
and that is generally still 2.6 or 2.7.
