If we're going to re-add cruft for the sake of temporary
compatibility, we may as well just stick with 2.x. You have to take a quantum leap sometimes or you end up working around the same old mistakes.
There seems to be rather a lot of confusion. No one is suggesting Python 3.0be anything less for the sake of backward compatibility. Instead, it has been suggested Python 2.6 (and possibly 2.7) be something *more* in order to provide for an easier upgrade path. No compromises in Python 3.0. -- Thomas Wouters <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi! I'm a .signature virus! copy me into your .signature file to help me spread!
