I think the changes will be substantial, both for Python code and for C extensions. A biggie is going to be the replacement of immutable str for binary data; that gets replaced with a mutable bytes object. It'll be good to have, but the loss of an immutable sequence-of-bytes type seems like a problem to me. On the other hand, we gain ordinary string literals being Unicode. I'm not sure what will happen with the standard library; it's just too early to say. I don't actually expect huge changes there, aside from changes required by the str->bytes replacement. -Fred -- Fred L.
