the release of Python 3.0 is far away, and nobody knows how it's going 
to look.  trying to be future-compatible at this time is a major waste 
of time and (not quite as wasteful as reopening yet another old "let's 
make some pointless change to the language" thread, but almost).

surely you must have something better to do with your time ?
