Let's talk about Python 3.0

For those who are questioning the value of Python 3.0: James Bennett has posted an interesting discussion on why it is worthwhile. "It's rare that any large/established software project manages to overcome this inertia and actually take stock, figure out whether 'the way we've always done it' is still a good way to do it, and then make changes in response. This week Python 3.0 was released, and it represents one of those rare instances: 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."
