I love Python. I love the Python Community, but there is a problem and you know its name: 3.

I was on a train the other day directed to my University, I was reading a book about Algorithms and Data Structure. I met this guy that was in his first year and asked me what programming language he should learn next: Python. I introduced Python to him, how to get started etc.

One thing I did not say: use Python 2.7. It really didn't came up in my mind, it's natural to me when talking of Python referring to 2.7; it's like Python 3 does not exists.

This problem is not newm Alex Gaynor posted about it in December (http://alexgaynor.net/2013/dec/30/about-python-3/) and nothing was done.

It's going to be a mess.

So I am asking, what can we REALLY do to save Python?
