+Nowadays, although `python2` still are the production preferred choice, `python3` is maturing and surely started taking over. Testing under `python3` environment is pretty easy.
+
+On Linux, most distros have both `python2` and `python3` bundled. However, on OSX, you need to install `python3` by yourself. Fortunately, it is one command away with the magic of `brew`.
+
+    $ brew install python3
+
+Then you could check by calling `python3` if it works. Then you could make a `virtuanenv` with `python3`.
+
+    $ mkvirtualenv --python=`which python3` en-py3
+    (en-py3) $
+
+That's all. Nothing extra required. Happy testing your app on `python3`
