Submission + - Python 3.0 Alpha Released (python.org)
AWG writes: Although not due for a production release until August 2008, eager python developers can take a sneak peak at the first alpha build of python 3.0 (aka "Python 3000"). This next leap in python will finally cull a lot of deprecated technology as well as re-organize a lot of the libraries and underlying data structures. In short, it isn't necessarily backwards compatible! Release announcement is here, or just skip ahead to read about what's new.
