No, I want a parallel-installable package of Python 3000.
... which is an alpha of a framework which requires a lot of stuff to
actually be _useful_. For one thing, we generally discourage
pre-releases. For another, we discourage multiple versions of
frameworks (ie, no compat-python).
Eventually it
will go from alpha to beta, then on to stable, and the plan is to do so
in about a year or so. The difference between Python 3000 and Python 2.5
is almost as large as the difference between Python 2.2 and 1.5. Let's
be ready, shall we?
Yes, but the difference can be mitigated by making your code run cleanly
with python 2.6 (... when it's released) and then running a converter.
We'll end up getting python 2.6 in when it comes out, so that'll help
with the first part. The second part will have to largely be a flag-day
type of event due to the high number of python modules we ship and use
actively.
