What happens with python 3k?

Question

Since I'm not a python developer, please don't cry me just for the question.

I'm curious about Python 3k, this, from my point of view, might be some kind of misconception. Or a pretty significant step forward (I take into account versions 2.6 and 3k, which were almost one after another). Before the flame starts, I will explain my position on this topic, and I would suggest a couple of facts from my work environment.

I work in an ultramodern database management company, we use mainly functional languages ​​for high-performance data analysis. But we also use python as a second technology for small tasks, scripts, process management and monitoring.

Some of my colleagues write more serious production applications based on python technologies, but:

• ALL of our customers use python 2.6,
• Due to the above, we have a pretty strong 2.6 toolkit and internal / external support,
• We are still planning to develop 2.6 applications.

Each small tool development is also based on platform 2.6.

Additional that I observe:

• at this point, any new linux distribution (in our infrastructure) has python 2.6 on the board,
• most third-party modules are designed for version 2.6,
• most of the resources on the network are also dedicated to 2.6

(I know that you can port most of this to 3.1.x, but the overhead is too much here.)

Here's a video where Guido van Rossum, at the Py4Science meeting, talks about Python 3. http://fperez.org/py4science/2009_guido_ucb/index.html
