Python 2 or 3 for development?

Hi, I've checked out the default branch from git on Windows to see if I can figure out how it works and contribute in any way. I am currently using Python 2.7 but I saw the notice about switching to python3. Does that mean that I can/should update to python3 now, or that it will be prepared for python3 some time soon?

Also, can I run the release version and the git version interchangeably with the same config and database, or do the newer version have changes that are not backwards compatible?

If you want to contribute, please the Python3 version from github: use it, test it, report any findings.
(There is also a binary Windows version ... I'll check if I can find it. EDIT: see below)

I use the Python3 version on Linux, and it works.

You can switch back and forth, maybe with a pickle error message in your log, but nothing serious.


EDIT:

Here is the Windows-binary with python3-sabnzbd:

It would be nice if you can test it. Or, if you can, the github version.
