Here are some things I've discovered: - There are more monthly posts on Stack Overflow relating to Python 3 than Python 2 since April 2016. - 57.94% of survey respondents in London use Python 2.7 for work, while 33.03% use Python 3.4. - For personal use, 49.79% of survey respondents in London use Python 3.4, while only 44.42% use Python 2.7.
But I'd like to get firsthand data from a larger and more representative community.
So if you code in Python, do you primarily use Python 2 or 3?

If I start a new codebase for a toy or throwaway project that doesn't have to be importable into one of those codebases, I'll start it in Python 3. If I remember to use it when creating the virtualenv. After all, with the primary project in Python 2, 2 is still my system default.

Since PyCon a month ago, however, I've been making a conscious effort to use Python 3. Python 2 has less than 4 years of life left! [0]
