Here's what I see there (expanding on what I said in the other post, which was based on one table further up, URLs by hit count) for December: 3.3.3: 1214571 - amd64 627672 - win32 586899 2.7.6: 1049096 - win32 607972 - amd64 441124 The next highest number is 167K downloads, so I'm going to ignore their figures as they won't make more than 15% difference in these stats. This is 2263667 total downloads of the current versions of Python, 46% 2.7.6 and 54% 3.3.3. That's not incredibly significant statistically, but certainly it disproves the notion that 3.x isn't used at all. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
