Abstract:
Since the renewed Python 3000 effort was announced in 2006, a lot has
happened. We've implemented about half of the promised changes in a
branch, we've solidified the schedule, there's a refactoring tool that
can do source-to-source translations, and we've produced several
gigabytes of discussion about language change proposals (most of which
were deemed to radical in the end :-) . In this talk I'll discuss the
Python 3000 road map, status, and what this means for the average
Python user.
