Folks:
It occurred to me to wonder why I haven't investigated how hard it would be to make my Python packages Python-3-compatible. That's right -- I haven't even looked closely. I couldn't even tell you off the top of my head what is in Python 3 that I would have to think about except for the new unicode regime. I think the answer is that the payoff is just *so* low to me at this point that it doesn't even justify me taking 15 minutes to read "What's New In Python 3" or to execute 2to3 on my smallest package and see what it does.
But the payoff is low for you because you want an object-capabilities system and Python 3 doesn't support that kind of use (nor was Python designed to support objcap in the first place, so it's already a strained use in 2.x). -Brett
