IMHO the killer app for Python 3 is in more reasonable support for
foreign character sets (no matter where your are, at least one out of
the hundred-odd Unicode character sets is going to be foreign,) and
generally internationalized data processing.
Well, actually Unicode support went in back around Python 2.4.
In 3.x, ASCII strings went away, but that was more of a removal.
