Python 3 is a more modern, better language, that's why. Hopefully, grumpy will support it soon enough, though it's understandable that they started with 2.7 to support Google's huge older codebase.
That's a bit of hyperbole. Python3 is technical churn, not technical innovation. They just stirred the pot and added some features that have no barrier to being added to Python2 and were, with Naftali Harris' Python 2.8.
But the bigger problem other than lack of widescale user adoption is that the primary reason for Python3 (unicode) was botched. Go got this right, everything is a byte string and the assumed encoding is UTF8.
