 ===== Python 2.7 vs Python 3 =====
-The official [[https://docs.python.org/2.7/howto/pyporting.html|Porting Python 2 Code to Python 3]] page gives the required information to make the transition from python 2 to python 3. It is still safe to use Python 2.7, so there is no rush to change to Python 3.
+It is still safe to use Python 2.7, but **you should consider upgrading to Python 3**, unless some key modules you need are not compatible (yet) with Python 3
+You should start writing code that will, when possible, work both in Python 2 and Python 3
+Some interesting reading:
+  * [[https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.0.html|What’s New In Python 3.0]].\\ Examples:
+    * ''print'' is now a function. Use ''print('Hello')''
+    * You cannot test a difference with ''<>'' any longer! Use ''!=''
+  * The official [[https://docs.python.org/2.7/howto/pyporting.html|Porting Python 2 Code to Python 3]] page gives the required information to make the transition from python 2 to python 3.
