Revision 7 as of 2004-08-20 00:25:06

Clear message

This page lists features that GvR has mentioned as goals for Python 3.0.

(Another list is at PythonThreeDotOh, but it incorporates items that GvR has never talked about.)

See the "Python Regrets" talk and other recent presentations by Guido.

Other Ideas from the BDFL

Rearrangements

intern(), id(): put in sys

xrange(): make range() return an iterator

buffer(): must die (use bytes, PEP 296)

raw_input(): use sys.stdin.readline()

input(): use eval(sys.stdin.readline())

callable(): just call it, already

execfile(), reload(): use exec()

compile(): put in sys

exec as a statement is not worth it -- make it a function
