The fact that there's a huge split in the community over the issue shows just how divisive Python 3 is. That said, 3 > 2 in version number doesn't make it better or more "current" (and I've seen a number of projects where the "latest" version wasn't even the latest - it was often an experimental). Yes, you could do just about everything you need to in Python 3 that you can do in Python 2, except that it can be much m…
I do think the split is in use-cases. I've worked in film at both small and very large places. You can get by very easily ignoring things like color management and frame rates when you're doing small, homogenous work. As soon as you need to take it seriously, the only real way to handle these things is to tag and/or convert these things at the perimeter so you can reliably handle things internally in a consistent way…
