There's nothing wrong with Python 3, but as Skip says, it takes time
for people to migrate.

Most cheap web hosts don't offer Python _at all_, but those that do
have the choice of which version(s) to provide. It may be possible to
call up either a 2.x or a 3.x by looking for "python" or "python3" -
give it a try.
