Hi:
Maybe most people know this but just in case, here is a
slashdot article on Python 3.0. I'm wondering if there is a simple
summary of what types of commands will change in 3.0.

Stony Stevenson writes "Organizations using Python will be affected in a
major way by changes in store for the language over the course of the
next twelve months, Linux.conf.au attendees were told this morning. The
Python development community is working towards a new, backwards-incompatible
version of the language, version 3.0, which is slated for release in
early 2009. Anthony Baxter, the release manager for Python and a senior
software engineer at Google Australia, said "We are going to break pretty
much all the code. Pretty much [0]every program will need changes."
Baxter also added another tidbit for attendees, saying that Python
accounts for around 15 percent of Google's code base."
