Dunno about you, but the amount of encoding/decoding errors in Py2 broke my little code multiple times in the past. "oh yeah I'll just fetch this html page"... all good, until that page contains non-ASCII and then BOOM.
With Py3 you're forced to think about this sort of issues right away and with minimal fuss you're sorted for life.
