Python 2.7 is still viable, but is certainly a dead end. The difference
increases month by month, and the advantage is only going to increase to
Python 3.

Any new code base should not be written in Python 2. Any libraries you
need which don't work yet on Python 3 should be seriously reconsidered.

Code Like A Pythonista was written in the Python 2 era
<http://python.net/~goodger/projects/pycon/2007/idiomatic/handout.html>
but is still excellent advice today.
