For me, having run a slew of large Python code bases, 3.3 was the first 'useful' version to upgrade to as it re-enabled u"string" syntax. Without that, making 2/3 compatible code was hard.

3.5 fixed % formatting for bytes, further making 2/3 transitions easier (or harder, depending on your use/abuse of strings vs bytes).

3.6 added the first 'exciting' new feature: f"formatted string {literals}" if you don't have an asynchronous type project that can make good use of async/await.
