I really love Python, it is my language of choice, bread and butter, and I've been using it since 2005. However, this backwards compatibility break is probably the worst thing that happened to the language, as I think it's creating more project stalling and work in total than is worth any improvements specifically stemming from backwards incompatible changes. It could be because python3 still has not become my target, but that's kind of the point. When is it ever going to be?



When 2.7 stops getting bug/security fixes? Current plan is 2015: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0373.
