I would not say that "ugly" and "new" (or "unused" for that matter) are the same. There are going to be a number of things in Python 3 that are new and to which one is not used, but they certainly are not ugly. Ugly is of course a matter of taste, I'll give you that, but to me it's still ugly. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
