You are hearing a lot of noise now, because 3.X has finally become viable enough to be interesting to the wider python community, I hope. That's why people keep hyping it.

3.0 was not ready, and only a few dedicated pythoneers (like Mark Pilgrim) pushed it.

It was very professional of the python community to keep 3.X in it's mother's basement until it was well-enough dressed to be seen in public.

I can't express how much I love the quote "It was very professional of the python community to keep 3.X in it's mother's basement until it was well-enough dressed to be seen in public." - it's incredibly spot-on.
