It has not. Python2 and Python3 are very similar. It's not like if you =
learn Python using version 2, you have to relearn the language when you =
want to switch Python3.  The syntax is the same, only 'print' is a =
function instead of a statement. Other improvements are unicode strings, =
cleanups in the library, lazy iterators, new-style classes by default =
etc... mostly background stuff you won't even notice in daily Python =
use.
