Python 3 makes it easier to develop high-quality software

Yes, and I kinda think it is silly, but whatever. Care to share any examples of recent releases? I know Google's TensorFlow was/is Py2 only, but a Py3 release is imminent. Google has an unfortunate habit of using Py2... I can understand they have their reasons... it is a bit irritating though :)

(Edit: Not that I care what they use internally... but sometimes they release a really cool open source library and it is Py2 only... arr! But at least they are sharing, so I can't really be too upset :)

snap-python. Development started in 2013, and yet they refuse to support Python 3: https://github.com/snap-stanford/snap-python/issues/52

So you'll have to convince them. Maybe they did not realize that SWIG supports Python 3 nowadays?

There's really no good reason not to support Python 3, and projects which refuse will at some point be forked.

Nah, just do the smart thing and stick with python 2.7.
