Python 3 in Enthought Canopy

Question

How to use Python 3 in Canopy Enthought? It has the option on the bottom to select Python 3, but this does not change anything when we use:

print(sys.version)
2.7.3 | 32-bit | (default, Mar 25 2013, 15:38:39) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)]

Answer 1

An Enthought engineer answered that at present it is not possible to use Python 3 in or with Canopy. They are considering several ways to support it but none of them will arrive in the short term.

Edit: Enthought just announced Python 3 support for Canopy 2.0.
