The long-term plan is to move Sage to Python 3. Here's a couple Trac metatickets that show the progress:
In the mean time, just be aware of the major changes between the two versions and write Python 3-compatible code as much as possible.
that's fine, but now what am i supposed to do to use sagemath? constructive comments are welcome. And also answers @kcrisman@paulmasson
The point is that nearly everything you know from Python 3 will be the same in Python 2. And many of the changes already "work" in the version of Python in Sage (see https://docs.python.org/3.0/whatsnew/...). So you might as well get started with Sage!
Many important functions are backported to 2.7 from 3. Others can be enabled like so: from __future__ import print_function . That will give you the format of the python 3 print function. After that you can use the new print modifiers, i.e. print(value, ..., sep=' ', end='\n', file=sys.stdout)
