I think there are *many* Pythonistas with that view. I suppose that there won't be one single killer feature for 3, but rather a steady accumulation of small but useful additions. Regarding the need for a specific Python version: I have been able to get away so far with using my own custom Python for web2py deployments, even on shared hosting, so I pretty much choose which Python. I *really* don't want to use 2.4 any more, and even 2.5 has some gimpy restrictions on ** kwargs usage. My standard deploy is currently 2.6 just because I know all the libraries are available, but I am starting to use 2.7. At least one site is running on 2.7 right now.
