The carrots I'm interested in as a user are new possibilties, like new standard library features, a better debugger/profiler, or everybody's favorate bugaboo, multicore parallelism. (Although, to be fair, the removal of old-style classes qualifies.) Sure, but if people like Mark are having to spend their time backporting every bit of behaviour like this then we won't have the time and energy to add the bigger carrots to 3.x to help entice people to switch.

Okay, call me +0 then. Not one of the migration issues I'm really sweating about :). -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/attachments/20091011/8b901cf0/attachment.htm>
