I've been trying to follow things on this thread, and I understand a bit about Pythonic ideomatic style and I know what Python is really good at and some of what it's not so good at, but it seems like one of Bart's original contentions was that given a certain problem, coded in a non-pythonic way, got slower under Python 3 than it was under Python 2 (if I recall correctly). In other words a performance regression. Somehow this seems to have gotten lost in the squabble over how one should use Python.
Python 3 is slower, period. The devs are trying to grab some of that back. I'd still say that the additions in Python 3, many of which were backported to 2.6/7, were worth this regression.
