[BangPypers] Python 3.0

[abhinav sarkar]

Hi,
Anthony Baxter from Google/Python Software Foundation gave a
presentation during OSCON '08 about porting programs from python 2.x
to 3.0. The presentation is available as a PDF at
http://assets.en.oreilly.com/1/event/12/Porting%20to%20Python%203_0%20Paper.pdf

The presentation underlines the changes which are going to take place
in the language and how to port the current python code to py3k.
