Does not change always cause confusion? The confusion in Python land
is pretty minor in comparison to the one caused Java 1.1, 1.2, 1.3,
1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 SE/ME/EE.

I think that people are just complaining to much. The python-devvers
are managing the transition extraordinarily well.

Or maybe it is because Jython requires Java and IronPython a CLR?
