Porting Sage to Python 3 is work in progress.
As far as I know, a Python3-based Sage currently has no extra functionality.
Using it is a sign of enthusiasm for the development of Sage.
The casual user is expected to stick to Python2-based Sage for now.
Running make test, make testlong, make ptest, make ptestlong
is a way to check whether all the examples and tests in Sage's documentation
work as expected. So far, these will not succeed with a Python3-based Sage;
they will help developers know what still needs to be worked on for porting
Sage to Python3.
To learn more about the doctesting framework in Sage, read:
- Doctesting page in the developer manual, especially this section
- "Testing" section of the "Coding basics" page in the developer manual

questions tagged Python3.x on Ask Sage.
