"Python 3000 to be Complete Rewrite. Linux Today
reports a warning by Guido van Rossum that Python 3000
will not be backwards compatible with Python 1.x.
Guido plans to develop 3000 in tandem with 1.7 later
this year. (1.6 is due by summer.) "'Python 3000 is a
monumental effort - all the code will be rewritten and
the documentation revised. This is my one chance to
reimplement Python and fix its efficiency problems.
But how incompatible it will be is a very big open
question and I don't have a concrete answer,' he
said." "
