python documentation

[python at blackward.eu]

You say: "The point is that there are those who use Python 2 and don't 
want to move to Python 3, claiming that it's easier to switch from 
Python 2 to some other language than from Python 2 to Python 3. That's 
what seems questionable."

And I say, forcing people to do things they do not want to do is a 
little more questionable. There are reasons, why people "don't want to 
move to Python 3". Maybe you should concentrate more on developing 
Python 3 a little more attractive then in burning witches?

But for my part, this discussion is ended, it does not lead to anything. 
At least in this point I agree with Chris.

Cheers, have a good time
Dominik
