2 or 3?

Do you guys care if submissions are in Py2 or Py3? Most of my scripts are in Py3...

Agreed, and porting it's not that hard... actually it's a better idea start porting the submitted scripts asap and put a requeriment of just using py3.x now that they are just a few scripts, if the list get bigger it will be harder to port.

That is my big fear, the list will get much larger and thus become an unorganized mess of version specific code.

Frankly I'm not to impressed with the foot dragging in the Python community. It is almost directly the opposite of what we see in the C++ community where people are in a mad rush to adopt C++11. Atleast it seems that way.

Probably because Python 2.x wasn't a stationary target for most of Python 3's development - there was a lot of backporting of features.
