For the last 2 years every project I've worked on has been Python3 only. At
SurveyMonkey we had ~60 different services and ported all shared code
between them to Python3 four years ago and started shipping production
Python3 two years ago.

It is a much better language and it really annoys me working on Python2
these days.  I think it is ridiculous to even discuss the transition these
days. Yes, it was horrible but at this point every important library has
been ported and it is no longer an issue to use Python3.
