+1 to this.

I haven't updated my Python apps to 3.x because there's nothing in 3.x 
that offers benefits to my users.

I deal with constant API churn as a Mac developer. I have no interest in 
adding to this complexity and headaches by switching from 2.x to 3.x.

I imagine I'll update someday, but not anytime soon.
