Great one Alex. 

While searching for web2py and python3 the first result i got was this 
<https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/31ai10/web2py_python3/>.

I've been asked to start a new internship-company for a project i'm 
involved in. And I so want to take those boys and girls on the web2py path, 
but to ask of those new-to-the-market to invest in a legacy language (2020 
is only 4 years from now) is something that feels odd to me. Especially 
since i know the power and grace of web2py. 

I know the subject has been debated and debated but for the sake of these 
students (and these are not the high university kind, but rather the 
ground-work and getting-stuff-done folks) i would kindly ask to take the 
future into consideration as well as our marketing because web2py is simply 
droped out of the equation because of py2. I would love to teach those kids 
web2py and be future proof. Many schools already teach things from a 
hundred years ago, let's not do that in IT as well. 

Thank your for considering.
