"Developers prepare for Python breakage

Published: 01 Feb 2008 10:43 GMT
The launch of version 3.0 of Python, expected within the next year, will
see major changes to some fundamental elements of the programming
language, release manager Anthony Baxter explained in a keynote speech
at linux.conf.au in Melbourne.
Python is used extensively by Google for many of its products, including
the popular YouTube video-sharing site.
"3.0 is also known as the release where we break all your code but we're
doing it for a good reason," Baxter said. "Python is 16 years old. Like
all 16-year-olds, it's got some really annoying features."
"Pretty much every program will need changes," Baxter said, but he
stressed that the shift would be some time in coming..."
