.. _why-python3:

Why Python 3?
=============

- Python 2.7 is the final Python 2.x release. Python 3.x is the future.
  The Python ecosystem needs to consolidate. A split or schism between
  different incompatible versions is not healthy for growing the
  community.
- Function annotations
- Decimal module 100x faster. As fast as floats.
- Easier to learn. (Less cruft in language and stdlib, more consistency, better docstrings, etc.)
- Much safer handling of unicode text and encodings: fewer bugs.
- More memory efficiency (shared dict keys (PEP 412) and space-efficient
  Unicode representation (PEP 393))
- Exception chaining
