Does anyone use 2.x by choice? I've only seen it required as to not break legacy code.
This shouldn't be downvoted, it's a legit question. I hear some people really really prefer `print as statement`, but I've never seem them in real life.
Open page. Nothing works. Enable their scripts. First slide shows but nothing works - except the link to the pdf version. Why not give a link to the pdf version in a element?

What I said was the default version of Python is old on most distributions. For example, CentOS 6 ships with Python 2.6 out of the box. Even faster moving distros (like Ubuntu) are still trying to make Python 3 the default (although at least Ubuntu ships with both 2.7 and 3.4+ out of the box).
Centos 6 is 7 years old, if you are still using that it is unfortunately your problem. It's not hard to write "python3" on a modern dist. Ubuntu has 3.5 and 3.6 is easily installable though not yet default 3.x.

Python 3 has been available on most dists for 5-10 years.

Just from __past__ import print_statement I really hope someone makes this work. I literally laughed and thought that it was a troll the first time I saw the future print import and that being used as a compelling reason that I should switch to Py3.
I'm impressed how much Python seems stuck on older versions. What went wrong?
People just can't be bothered to upgrade when it works well enough for them.
