  FAQ
  
+     Q. When will Python 3.0 be released?
+ 
+     A. We don't plan that long ahead, so we can't say for sure.  We
+        want to allow at least two years for the transition.  If Python
+        3.0 comes out sooner, we'll keep the 2.x line alive for
+        backwards compatibility until at least two years from the
+        release of Python 2.2.  In practice, you will be able to
+        continue to use the Python 2.x line for several years after
+        Python 3.0 is released, so you can take your time with the
+        transition.  Sites are expected to have both Python 2.x and
+        Python 3.x installed simultaneously.

      Q. Why isn't true division called float division?
