Seconded. ;-)
I'm not sure how you will get extension writers who have to maintain packages for all three Python versions to ever change their code to use the new style calling scheme: there simply is no clean way to use the same code base unless you are willing to add tons of #ifdefs.
You won't, and that's OK. Even if 3rd-party extensions never use it, there are plenty of functions/methods in the standard distribution which can use it, and I imagine those would be converted fairly quickly. -Fred -- Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake at acm.org> PythonLabs at Digital Creations
