Wow, I'd venture that the division changes with ints are the only thing I'm really concerned about breaking in 3.0, both because they're more likely to slip by without being immediately noticed and because they're likely to be foreign going forward for people used to C-style integer division (ie most of the programmers in our office). Even them I don't see as a huge roadblock, but a "erase old ways of thinking" bugaboo for a while. But the rest of the changes are pretty obvious and well warned about by 2to3 and the interpreter. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
