Python 3(K) likes to use the same '.py' file extension as its incompatible predecessors, and in some/many/most *nix implementations, it likes to install in the same place. Python 3 is an improvement upon Python 2, but Python went from, "sure... Python just works," to, "well... that depends... which Python?" I missed the 1 to 2 transition. I'm not exactly a Python newbie, but Python 1.5.2 was dead an buried by the time I met the snake^H^H^H^H^H group of daffy English k-ni-ghits. We knew that there was no painless path from where we were to where we saw to be better, and the Python community and our BDFL made many wise decisions toward the Python 3 transition. This particular matter, we botched. I am too late in speaking up, so I'm as much blame as anyone. Something to keep in mind for Python 4. -Bryan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
