Python 3(000) released!

As of today, Python 3k was released to the public. The changes make to the language make it incompatible with older 2.x versions of python. I wonder how fast/slow porting existing python libraries will take.

Although on thing I'm slightly annoyed is the deprecation of % for the string formatting. It seams a bit more verbose to do "%s blah %s" % (var1, var2) as "%s blah %s".format(var1, var2), but whatever. The clarity is better for the latter.

Any opinions on py3k?
