Python 3.0 is determined not to be hampered by backwards incompatibility concerns. It's not even clear yet that your average 2.6 code will work on 3.0 -- though there's a pretty large contingent trying to make this true. In short, if you need to support 2.3, you're not ready to be looking at 3.0. STeVe -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
