Sorry, let me pour a bit of cold water here. Recently I was busy
porting a few big and small (but complex) programs to Python 3 and was
sending thousands curses every day. str=>unicode is the biggest change
but not the most painful. The worst was when I spent few days hunting
for a subtle bug caused by absent of unbound methods.
Painful. :-(
