Well, Py3 still has a lot to catch up in terms of wide spread distribution 
compared to Py2.x, and new users will usually start using the most up to 
date release, which will soon be 3.3.

Besides, 3.3 has received various optimisations that make it more suitable 
for production use than 3.2, including the above mentioned Unicode 
optimisations.
