Hi I was hoping someone could shed some (articles, links) in regards python 3 design ideals. I was searching guido's blog which has his overarching view of Python from an early development perspective http://python-history.blogspot.com/2009/01/pythons-design-philosophy.html .
I was interested in what the design goals/philosphy was of Python 3 from a birds eye view, forest for the trees approach. i can safely assume one goal was speed improvement as in the blog he noted "Don’t fret too much about performance--plan to optimize later when needed." So I assume that means that Python had developed to a point where that was needed. But performance wouldn't be the over-arching criteria for the change. Just curious. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
