For those of us still using Python 2.4 and earlier, it's hard to be  
motivated to worry about Python 3.0, no matter how wonderful it  
looks.  (It doesn't help that my own available time appears to  
decrease daily with the kids and all.)

Python 2.6 seems to be entirely targeted at people who really want to  
be on Python 3, but have code that will need to be ported.  I  
certainly don't view it as interesting in it's own right.
