nope. it's not designed yet. for some ideas that might
end up in Py3K, skip over to www.python.org and read
Guido's presentation at the houston conference:
http://www.foretec.com/python/workshops/1998-11/proceedings.html
also read Guido's paper on CP4E:
http://www.python.org/doc/essays/cp4e.html
when you've done that, I can assure you that your
guess is as good as mine (not as good as Guido's, of
course, but he's got a time machine ;-)
...
for the time being, I think everyone is better off if
they think of "Python 3000" as a phrase used by
Python developers when they really mean "what
if we wouldn't have to care so much about back-
wards compatibility"...
or maybe "once we find some spare time"
(heck, I don't think anyone knows exactly what
1.6 will contain yet, and there will most likely be
a 1.7 after that ;-)
