Any other Python devs still going to stick with 2.x despite this? I know I will be, for the foreseeable future.

This was a big step for 3.0 adoption, but there is still a long way to go. It reminds me of PHP4 v PHP5, but with far less clear benefits (and far less support).

I'm sorry - what is this 3.0 you speak of? Debian stable still runs on 2.5. Surprisingly, almost every module I need from pypi works without problems (sometimes just requires select26 to get the proper epoll). Most changes that would be otherwise needed are really trivial (from __future__ import ...).

There are some improvements to Unicode handling 3.0 that clean things up a bit, which I'd appreciate after fighting with it recently.

Well, anyone working with the App Engine will be.
