Exactly. I don't know what exactly their problem is. I've pushed the
migration of *large* projects at work to Python3 when support was pretty
early and it really wasn't a huge deal.

Specifically because I love pretty much every single aspect that Python3
introduced. The codec support is so good that I've never seen anything
like it in any other programming language and then there's the tons of
beautiful changes (div/intdiv, functools.lru_cache, print(),
datetime.timedelta.total_seconds(), int.bit_length(), bytes/bytearray).

Regards,
Joe
