Python 3 moratorium now official
,----[ Quote ]
| The Python 3 language syntax has been
| frozen until June 2011 under a moratorium
| imposed by Guido Van Rossum, Python's
| creator and BDFL (Benevolent Dictator For

| of October, is now defined in PEP3003 and
| sets out what is not to change in future
| Python 3 versions.

Learning Python, fourth edition
,----[ Quote ]
| It has been a long time since I did any
| programming. My life took a different path.
| This book has reminded me of how fun it is
| to write and read code in Python and made
| me wonder how I might find or create
| opportunities to return programming to my
| busy life (but this time around, if I make
| the time to write anything, it will be in
| Python 3.x). This book is why.

Keeping score in test-driven development with Python, PyLint, unittest, doctest, and PyRate
,----[ Quote ]
| Programming is one of the most extreme
| examples of delayed gratification â you can
| work for months without having anything to
| show for it (or at least nothing that would
| convince your family that it was worth all
| that time and trouble). This can be really
| demoralizing, especially if you have any
| doubts about your abilities to begin with.

Proposal: Moratorium on Python language changes
,----[ Quote ]
| The main goal of the Python development
| community at this point should be to get
| widespread acceptance of Python 3000. There
| is tons of work to be done before we can be
| comfortable about Python 3.x, mostly in
| creating solid ports of those 3rd party
| libraries that must be ported to Py3k before
| other libraries and applications can be
| ported. (Other work related to Py3k
| acceptance might be tools to help porting,
| tools to help maintaining multiple versions
| of a codebase, documentation about porting
| to Python 3, and so on. Also, work like that
| going on in the distutils-sig is very
| relevant.)

Moratorium for Python 3
,----[ Quote ]
| Guido von Rossum, author of the Python
| programming language, has proposed freezing the
| grammar and semantics of the language for a
| "period of several years". By doing so, von
| Rossum is hoping to facilitate the move from
| Python 2 to Python 3.
