    ...operator.div, operator.idiv, operator.__div__, operator.__idiv__ (Only __truediv__ and __floordiv__ remain, not sure how to handle them if we want to re-use __div__ and friends. If we do, it will make it harder to write code for both 2.x and 3.x.) 'as' and 'with' are keywords. Absolute import is the default behavior for 'import foo' etc. Removed support for syntax: backticks (ie, x), <>. Removed these Python builtins: apply(), callable(), coerce(), execfile(), file(), reduce(), reloa...
