"Let it be known that Lambda only supports python 2.7, not python 3, and that really frickin sucks. Get your shit together, Amazon."

Node 4 support came, what, a month ago? It's pretty ridiculous.

I specifically don't understand the Python 3 situation. They support Python 2, it can't be that complicated to have a separate Python 3 runtime.

There is no significant benefit to python 3 over python 2.

You're wrong, and it's irrelevant anyway. Our app is in Python 3. Having to support Python 2 just because lambda doesn't support 3.x is a pain.

Unicode....?

I mean, that's reason enough. Python 2's string processing suuuuuuucks.

Except that it is the way forward and many people choose to write python3 compatible code.
