Python 3 can revive Python

Spot on. Id love to see a bunch of 'I swapped to python 3 and it was amazing because... [reason]' posts.

If nothing else It'd illustrate clearly either the python 3 folks haven't got a leg to stand on (unable to come up with any tangible real life [reason]) or that there are actually compelling reasons to swap over to python 3; in which case we can point people to those posts in threads like this.

(personally I forayed into 3 but couldn't find any [reason] to stay there; I keep dropping into threads like this hoping to find one...)

Here's a small reason I found when refactoring some code today:

Like I said, it's a small reason, but it would have made my life much easier today. Enough small reasons add up.

I had some bug in a Django library, that went away by using Python 3. Can’t remember what it was exactly, but it was related to Unicode support.
