You are entitled to your opinion about the idea of changing the name of the language, but calling it a troll is just arrogance on display. Python3000 is expected to break compatibility with the current Python anyway, and starting with a new name is not a radical idea. Yes, it would cause some minor problems, but it is not without merit. People who are familiar with Python are smart enough to remember a new name (I hope), and people who are not will take it more seriously when they hear its name for the first time. Computer geeks often fail to appreciate how they are viewed by the outside world. They come up with a great language and give it a joke for a name, not realizing that the joke is ultimately on them. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
