[jira] [Commented] (BEAM-2103) Missing remark about Beam being incompatible to Python 3 in the documentation

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-2103?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16427682#comment-16427682 ] 

Taylor Edmiston commented on BEAM-2103:
---------------------------------------

I read this documentation but came here to echo the same sentiment.

The quickstart docs mention a Python 2 requirement, but they don't explicitly call out Python 3 incompatibility.  Since Python 3 incompatibility is quite a rare thing in 2018, I feel like this should be clarified.

This comes from the dev side but our customer using Dataflow via Airflow wasn't clear that it's incompatible.
