I was surprised to recently notice a yellow banner on the website of the very popular Requests library, which urges users to switch to Python 3. That's when I first thought switching may become inevitable. I guess this is being orchestrated behind the scenes now.

https://docs.python-requests.org

Still, I have no plans to switch. The only useful feature in Python 3 to me is more liberal use of unpacking. Unfortunately it comes at the cost of removed tuple parameter unpacking, which I use often, but most users apparently never do. I don't know what's difficult about Unicode in Python 2 either, once you understand the difference between Unicode and UTF-8.

It's unfortunate it ever had to come to this. Makes you wonder what Python would be like today without Py3K. (It's an open question.)
