The directories in PYTHONPATH are *prepended* to sys.path. Perhaps one of your files has the same name as a module that's new in Python 3.0 ... "io" is a possible candidate; "abc" a better one. Care to tell us the name of the file in which 3.0 finds the syntax error? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
