You're criticizing me for not looking at your Languages page, when in fact that page has nothing to say that diminishes any point I've been making.<p>As I already pointed out to you, Python 3 is far from the most widely pointed out version of Python.  The actual versions people are use in the wild are the 2.x line.  Judging from <a href="http://pirate.tangentcode.com/" rel="nofollow">http://pirate.tangentcode.com/</a>, the unsuccessful attempt to port Python 2 has been abandoned for several years.<p>When it started it was called a first class project as well.  There was theoretically lots of visible support.  There is lots of prior art on how to successfully port it to a virtual machine.  Some really good people tried to make it work.  And the failure to port it resulted in literal pie in the face for the lead developer of Parrot.<p>I know that a number of things have improved about the project.  Parrot is much healthier than it was.  But I can't personally bother caring about it until after I see it succeeding with what should be the relatively easy stuff.
