In retrospect, in many ways this is why I am relatively patient with the Python3 development direction. While I think its non-compatibility may hurt in the short term, the long term goal of stream-lining the language will make for a much better Python future. Essentially, the python team said, "Look, python2 sucks... ," and then they went about figuring out what Python would look like had it been "designed" right in the first place. Whalla, Python3. So after years and years of practical experience with the language Python is getting the face lift it deserves, and is going to be one gorgeous lady when finished.
[snip] I think you mean "VoilĂ , Python3." And I doubt that the Python team said "Look, python2 sucks...", but rather "Look, Python2 has some cruft which needs to be removed". -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
