Incidentally, is there a reason you're using Python 2.6? You should be
able to upgrade at least to 2.7, and Flask ought to work fine on 3.3

you have nothing binding you to Python 2, go with Python 3. Converting a
small project now will save you the job of converting a big project in
ten years' time
Everything you say is correct, but remember that there is a rather large
ecosystem of people writing code to run on servers where the supported
version of Python is 2.6, 2.5, 2.4 and even 2.3. RedHat, for example,
still has at least one version of RHEL still under commercial support
where the system Python is 2.3, at least that was the case a few months
back, it may have reached end-of-life by now. But 2.4 will definitely
still be under support.
Pledging that your app will run on the system Python of RHEL is
something that binds you to a particular set of versions of Python.
It's not just library support that does that.
Does any Linux distro ship with Python 3? I haven't seen one.
