An interesting article from Lennart Regebro 
http://regebro.wordpress.com/2014/06/03/would-a-python-2-8-help-you-port-to-python-3/ 
although I'm inclined to ignore it as it appears to be factual.  We 
can't have that getting in the way of plain, good, old fashioned FUD now 
can we?

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask 
what you can do for our language.

Thanks for that link.

People forget, or don't realise, that Python 2.7 *is* the 2.8 they are 
looking for. Python 3 came out with 2.5. There have already been two 
transitional releases, 2.6 and 2.7, which have partially introduced 3 
features such as "from __future__ import division" etc.

Python 3.0 final was released on December 3rd, 2008, just two months 
(almost to the day) after 2.6.
