Today
is a new day for Python programmers. The hard working core committers
from the Python 3.0 project released the final version of that update
to that most serpentine of programming languages.
But this is no
ordinary update, replete with bug fixes, new features and refinements.
No, this is a complete break with the past, so much so that "Hello,
World" written in 2.5 or earlier will not work in 3.0.
But this is
for the better. We spoke to some of the people working on this update,
and they explained where all the nooks and crannies were in this, and
in the 2.6 release.
Have a gander for yourself, George.
Or,
just click on that big green Tree Boa on the right to go directly to
Python's homepage. The big list of changes and such are all in there.
