Wrong on both counts. ;-) Python 3.0 is not a rewrite. It's based on the same code base as the 2.X line, but with a lot of the old deprecated things removed. And, while Python 3.0 is allowing itself to break backwards compatibility, at least that the Python level, it should be largely compatible with the 2.X line. There will be some breakages, but (1) they shouldn't be too extensive and (2) there will be utilities to help you update your code. In many cases, it will be possible to write code that works in both Python 2.X and 3.0. STeVe -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
