As a user, I'm horrified.  Granted, I'm not the most high powered
user, but . . .
my employer is already providing me with a 3.0 Python version on one
of my work computers with the expectation that I'll be using it more
and more.

Sorry to butt in, but is this a joke?  I thought all this was hashed
out prior to inventing python 3.0.
