ISTM, we can decide to limit 3.0's impact to a single compatibility module, essentially as an alternate set of builtins. import __new_builtins__ for name in 'bytes dict coerce'.split(): # list any new features you want to support setattr(__builtins__, name, getattr(__new_builtins__, name)) The bytes type would just be the new type. The dict would have keys=iterkeys, no has_key, etc. The coerce function would work but have a DeprecationWarning or somesuch. If you want future division, we already have a mechanism for that. If you want to eliminate backticks, just grep for them. If you don't care about 3.0 compatibilty, just don't import the module. Outside of a compatibility module, we can decide to leave Py2.6 unmolested by Py3.0, so I can stop being cranky. Raymond
