　　Python 3.0 (a.k.a. "Python 3000" or "Py3k") is a newversion of the language that is incompatible with the 2.x line ofreleases.  The language is mostly the same, but many details,especially how built-in objects like dictionaries and strings work,have changed considerably, and a lot of deprecated features havefinally been removed.  Also, the standard library has been reorganizedin a few prominent places.
