I have not been following Python development that closely lately so I
was not aware of that. I guess I won't be going to Python 3 then. It's
great that Python wants to attract young, new programmers. Too bad
about us old farts I guess.
How soon before 2.x is completely deprecated and I have to become a
Walmart greeter?
