Why would I want to migrate to Python 3 any time soon? 2.5 and 2.6 meet my needs (so far), and the new features in Python 3 aren't especially compelling to me. Particularly if migrating to 3 requires me to re-write all the libraries, where's the advantage? -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
