Python 3.0 releasedPython 3.0 releasedPosted Dec 4, 2008 5:39 UTC (Thu) by kbob (guest, #1770)Parent article: Python 3.0 released
Python 3 was originally called Python 3000. However, it released in 2008, 992 years early.
Is software hard to schedule or what?

3000 is clearly an octal number, which translates to 1536. And 1536 is a year when The Inquisition was implemented in Portugal.
Remember: No one ever expects The Portugal Inquisition :)

Yes, that's why the grammar was corrected to match.

That should be 'Eminence' :)

"""

No. I'm sure it's Eminience. As in "of or pertaining to the planet Eminiar VII". I therefore suggest the name "Vendikar" for this new Python release. Hey, it's computer related. :-)

To me it's clearly a base-26 number, where each digit corresponds to an alphabet letter.
Then, 3000 => daaa.
Everybody knows "daaa" is the Portuguese phonetic equivalent of the English "D'oh!" [1].

from __future__ import python
Which should be no surprise to anyone, these days:

That strip needs to be upgraded for Python 3.0. "print" changed from a statement to a function.

I knew it was coming years ago when I asked my Python oracle:
>>> from __future__ import money
Then I *knew* we were in trouble.

Verify that it's working right by importing something you know is there.
Try "from __future__ import viagra_spam"
