I take it back, it looks like they are finally doing something.
I've been reading about Python 3000 for at least 5 years now
and just kind of assumed it was an idealist wish list rather than
a reality.

Having said that I still think most of the things that I see written
about being "in 3000" are wishful thinking rather than actual
scoped features!
