Hi,
Is it true that that "Python 3000" is dead ?
Honestly I think that e.g. changing 5/2  to be 2.5 (instead of 2) would
just break to much code :-(
On the otherhand I'm using Python as "Matlab replacement" and would
generally like 5/2 ==2.5

So, I was contemplating to default all my modules/scripts to start with
"from __future__ import division"
but if it is never coming (in this decade, that is)  then it would be a
waste of time just confuse everybody !!

Thanks,
Sebastian Haase
