Somewhat related. Only yesterday I ported/reimplemented a software package to python3. On the finish line, I ran into a problem: xlwt only supports 2.6, 2.7 and 3.3. My system has python3.2. So I backtracked to python2.7. So not only do we have a schism between python2 and python3 but there's one between 3.0 and 3.3. I can't help but wonder if PEP 414 was a mistake. Serves me right for being an "early adopter." Marko -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
