Python 4 is *not* going to be a release where we break compatibility with a whole bunch of things at once. Basically if you think you'll need to wait for Python 4 to get your favorite change to the language, you can forget it. You need to come up with a plan to introduce the change without breaking existing code or at least a clear deprecation schedule. -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido)
