Well I thought about this a bit more, and now I'm starting to think  
it's not going to be *too* bad. There's a lot of existing C code out  
there that uses the Python C API, and I doubt that python 3000 is  
going to totally break all that code. The python developers surely  
know that that existing codebase is one of python's strengths as a  
"real language". Also I read somewhere that python 3000 is not being  
rewritten from scratch, it's based on the 2.x code.

But who knows.... I guess we'll find out in the next few years.
