As far as I know, the forum is called "Python" and not "Python 3".

By the way, in the Poser universe there are significantly more Poser 11 users who need Python 2 than those who use Poser 12 with Python 3. And that's likely to continue for a while. As I see it, P12 will probably need another 3-5 years to become reasonably stable and usable. Which means Python 2 will continue to exist in the Poser universe....

Using Python standards (like format for displaying numbers) also has the advantage that there are less problems with conversions/changes. The current disaster regarding Python 3 incompatibility of most scripts should be incentive enough to do things differently in the future and stick to established standards.
