will python 3000 break my code?

[Charles Hixson]

Perhaps there should be added a deprecated method called, perhaps, appendA_List,
thus:
              foo.appendA_List(1, 2, 3)
which would act the way in which append has historically acted.  The deprecation
would be fair warning that it would be going away soon, and the ugly name would
further disincline folk to use it.  This should facilitate the automated
conversion of current code, and allow it to be corrected at a humane rate.
