What's so great about python 3?
From what I read, it seems like I just have to type more to do the same thing.
Personally, I'd rather be back in Hobbiton.

Re: What's so great about python 3?
Maybe a little bit shorter than that:
Basically they just changed some things which some people found to be inconsistend or unnecessary / unneeded / whatsoever. To accomplish that they had to break backward compatibility.
Other than that, there is nothing really special about it. If you are new to python or didn't use that many language features you probably don't even notice any difference (other than the print statement)

Completely agree. Another thing you may see is faster run time because of optimizations. That's I'll I could think of.

There's also internalization. In Python 3 Unicode is the default for strings, which is great for me, as I'm not American. Python 3.0 and Python 2.6 are essentially the same, but I see the first as a refinement of the other.
