The sheer amount of overhaul as documented in http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3100/ makes it already not backwards compatible. Python has been progressing piece by piece, but the 2.x -> 3.0 transition allows to clean up some thing in a good way, rather than bolting things on top of others. Anyway, please search around a bit, this kind of stuff has been extensively discussed in the past. -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven <asmodai(-at-)in-nomine.org> / asmodai イェルーン ラウフロック ヴァン デル ウェルヴェン http://www.in-nomine.org/ | http://www.rangaku.org/ In the dark backward and abysm of time... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
