python 3.0
Posted By Quentin Carnicelli on December 10th, 2008
James Bennett: Python 3.0 was designed to clear up a lot of now-inertial legacy issues with the Python language and figure out good ways to do things now instead of unquestioningly sticking with what seemed like good ways (or, more often, the least painful ways) to do things five or ten years ago.

Although I do not look forward to porting all the code we have from python 2.5 to python 3.0, I very much look forward to python 3.0 when we get there.
