Python, a computer language used on the web, is one of the most widely used
programming languages in the FLOSS world.
The Python community is working on a major upgrade that will produce a version *not* compatible with the older stuff. Technical info can be found here:
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3000/
It should be noted that they are also going to continue the 2.x line for at least one (most probably more) versions, so the transition to a non-compatible upgrade of Python will take a few years... more than enough time to switch over.
Also, they are releasing an application that will do machine translation from 2.x->3, and the developers are very confident that it
will cover almost all Python 2 software.
This is not a move-with-us-or-go-to-Hell move like PHP4 -> 5 or Visual Basic -> VB Net.
