It won't be /by definition/ in my fork of Python 3, which I am pleased to announce now, is called Python 3.01 while in development, and will be known as Python 3000 or Python 3K when it gets to a productional release. So in regard to Python 3000, your statement will be plain nonsense. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
