I strongly dislike Python 3

Maybe the print statement is like the wart of Python. It maybe ugly, but it 
adds character. Could you imagine Lemmy lasered his?

Of course people are angsty that *their* Python might not be the same!


But I can relieve those who are: The interactive command line shell IPython 
delivers an autocompletion where parenthesis for _any_ function may be left 
out. Now, how does that sound? Ruby anyone? ;)
