Stuck in Python 2.7

I started off with learning Python 3 in the first place but now I am working my way backwards and I'm using Python 2.7. That happened because many popular libraries that I want to use like wxPython, django and many more haven't yet ported to Python 3 yet.

I also recommend others who like me began with Python 3 to get and install Python 2.7(latest in 2.x versions). This won't be a problem though as many features have been backported to Python 2.7 in the form of the 'future' module(see here how to do it) and most of your programs will be able to run on Python 3 too.
