From the "choosing an interpreter" section:
> Also use Python 2.7.x if you’re starting to work on a new Python module.
Is this a generally accepted guideline? I'd have thought Python 3 would have caught on by now.

I'd word this more like "projects should use Python 3 unless you have an existing reason (a core library, existing code base, etc) to stay on 2.7". A year ago, I couldn't have said this. Six months ago, the possibility of missing, critical libraries was still very large, but, today, it's a reasonable approach (IMO, of course :).
