It's mostly a solved problem nowadays – Pillow exists as much better and Python3-compatible PIL fork.

I wans't talking about just PIL - I was talking about Python 2 vs Python 3 in general.

EDIT: And I'm not talking about development only. I'm talking about download small scripts and being able to run them seamlessly as well.

Just pick one and use it. If it is a long project pick python 3. If you actually use python you'll barely notice the difference.

EDIT If the script uses a well formed #! this isn't too much of a problem either.
