Guido was preparing on this incompatibility for years, so unless
you were sleeping you should not be surprised.
Not being surprised is one thing, but I don't see how anyone could be
prepared other than not using any python code.
but it's pretty bad for someone who wants to keep a single
codebase across EL 4 (Python 2.3) and up, which I think a lot
of us do.
The party line is that you should develop against python 2.6
(which doesn't block you from being compatible with Python 2.3)
and then conversion from 2.6 to 3.* would be guaranteed to be
done just with a script.
Is there some shortage of names? Why can't a new and incompatible
language be given a different name so people don't try to use it with
the old and different code?
