Is 'Python 3000' just a code name for version 3.0, or will it really be
called that when it's released?

The smart money is on changing the name to Ecstasy, to leverage
marketing publicity from the hallucinogenic club drug of the same
name. "class" will be renamed to "rave", and the license will be
changed to prohibit use by people with bipolar disorder. Either that,
or the name will be Python 3.0.
Dennis said:Or... just to save "3000" as a "time way down the road"... The next
major version of Python will be: Python PI (and each build will add
another digit... "3.1, 3.14, 3.141, ...")

I like this idea a lot. This way, people ALWAYS know what the next
release's name will be.

That's actually the versioning scheme of TeX, currently being at 3.141592
Dennis Lee Bieber said:<eeek> My last exposure to TeX was some 15 odd years ago; and even
then it was just rudimentary stuff fed through LaTeX.
Sergei said:It's total nonsense as LaTeX is a bunch of macros written in TeX the
language. If you meant TeX the interpreter of the TeX the language (a
program), then it's total nonsense again, as interpreter is not
(usually) fed through anything.
Latex the program just loads LaTeX macros into the TeX interpreter
before the document to be processed, so one may say LaTeX is fed through
TeX, but not vise versa.
Anyway, it's unfair to speak of one of the most wonderful pieces of
software ever written in such a tone.

Judging tone through email is error prone. Please try not to imagine insults
where there are none.
I refer to the documents I was creating as "rudimentary stuff" --Anyway, it's unfair to speak of one of the most wonderful pieces of

IE, I made use of very little of the real power available to me... It
was: Use a Macintosh (I'm talking original with the tall narrow display)
or LaTeX on a VAX to produce transparencies for presentations...
