I know that when it launched, a lot of people didn't think it would be picked up very easily. I was wondering if thats changed at all. Do many of the major modules and libraries support Python 3 yet? Is it gaining acceptance or are people mostly sticking with 2.x?

python python-3.x

The answer to all your questions are "Yes". :)

Yes.

Yes.

or are people mostly sticking with 2.x?

Yes.

Your question is a bit fuzzy, namely. If you are wondering if you should use Python 2 or Python 3, then the answer is "Use Python 2". There are many who uses Python 3, but they wouldn't ask the question. :-)

I'd expect that to change in 1-2 years, when the answer will be "well, it depends". And in around 3 years the answer will be "Are you using a library/framework that hasn't been ported?"
