Am I totally wrong when I think that 2.6 should be 100% backward compatible with 2.5 (unless explicitly requested in the python script itself and even then it should just emit DepreceatedWarnings)?

Python will contain some forward 3.0 compability, i have not read any thing about 100% backwards compatibility.

http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3000/

but even if it is, then you will have to do a

a python 2.5 to python 2.6 with (__future__) features to use some of the new stuff. and later you have to do a 2.6 with (__future__) features to python 3.0, because as they state in then pep-3000

<snip>
There is no requirement that Python 2.6 code will run unmodified on
Python 3.0
</snip>
