I've read that 2.7 is the defacto std for python (default on Slack
14.1).  I installed py3 on Slack box cuz I'd gotten the little
"Programming the Raspberry Pi" book, which is a pretty good lil' book,
clarifying many confusing (to me) python issues.  Only prob is, it's
fer python 3x.  I guess I coulda kept the two platforms separate, but
then raspi has 2X and 3x, also, so I guess I need to get this issue
straight in my feeble geezer head, right outta the gate.  I'm plum
grateful to all you kind folks who are taking the time to educate this
slow ol' curmudgeon.  ;)
