Exactly my view, too.

I think the continued lack of library support for Python 3 in general
is really bad for the language. I've already started hearing
comparisons between Python 3 and Perl 6 (which is really not a nice
thing).

To develop self-contained apps using PyInstaller, I've had to go
*back* to Python 2.7. It's not so bad, but it would be much nicer to
use of all the features of Python 3.
