I use Python to work with various network and serial protocols a lot, and using Python 3 certainly seems like more work. The fact that Python 2 and 3 both have a type called 'bytes' but the two types are completely incompatible makes it especially hard to write portable code that doesn't look like it's been intentionally obfuscated. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow!
