Well thank goodness you're not in charge of Python's future development. That way leads to madness: madness for the core developers (if you think maintaining Python 2 and 3 branches is hard imagine maintaining *dozens* of them, *forever*), madness of the programmers using the language, and madness for anyone trying to learn the language. It's hard enough for newbies to deal with *two* dialects, 2 and 3. And you want to introduce dozens. Thanks, but no thanks. -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
