Main problem is that by the time Python3 has stopped being disruptive, Python4 will be underway. Python3 is incompatible enough with Python2 to cause hassle and headaches, but not incompatible enough for the benefits to be more than slight. So making more radical changes will require undergong the transition and disruption twice. I think it would have been better to just do it once. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
