I am starting to have doubts as to whether Python 3.x will ever be

Years have passed, and a LARGE number of Python programmers has not
even bothered learning version 3.x. Why am I bothered by this? Because
of lot of good libraries are still only for version 2.x, and there is
no sign of their being updated for v3.x. I get the impression as if
3.x, despite being better and more advanced than 2.x from the
technical point of view, is a bit of a letdown in terms of adoption.
Some Linux distributions will certainly switch to Python 3 by default,
sooner or later. Fedora has decided to do so for their 22 release:

I'm not sure what "by default" means, I hope it isn't that "python" runs
Python 3.x. That causes massive confusion on Arch, and will make it
very difficult to support a mixed environment.
