We use Appengine, which only supports python 2.7. As well as being a reason for us to stick with 2.7, I imagine Google prefers what is effectively a LTS release. If (hopefully "when") they provide 3.x, they will need significantly more support resources to keep up with continual releases.


App Engine already supports Python 3.


Thanks for correcting me - after excitedly checking the docs, the "flexible" service indeed supports 3.0. The managed service is still 2.7, however.

The flexible service is basically running your own instance of appengine on a VPS, which means you have to provision and support the infrastructure. To my mind, that negates most of the advantage of Appengine - if I was happy to do my own system admin, I'd build my own stack on VPS.
