I'm not in a great hurry to support Python 3.x. It should be included,
but we need to make sure that it works well.
Also note that Python 3.x is not compatible with 2.x, so Vim scripts
that include Python might break. That's a hassle. We should at least
have a way to check which one Vim is supporting. "has('python3')"
probably.
It would be even better if we can support python 2.x and 3.x at the same
time and select the interpreter for every python command. Is this even
possible? I would not be surprised if the Python libraries conflict.
