Python 3.0 appears, strangles 2.x compatibility
Python 3.0 is out now. The latest version makes some major changes to the popular programming language, and it's incompatible with version 2.x releases.
It's the first Python intentionally made to break compatibility, according to project founder Guido van Rossum. He describes in the release notes that 3.0 focuses on fixing well-known annoyances and removing outdated code.
"The language is mostly the same, but many details, especially how to build-in objects like dictionaries and strings work, have changed considerably."
