Stony Stevenson writes "Organisations using the programming language Python will be majorly affected by changes in store for the language over the course of the next twelve months, Linux.conf.au attendees were told this morning. The Python development community is working towards a new, backwards incompatible version of the language, version 3.0, which is slated for release in early 2009. Anthony Baxter, the release manager for Python and a senior software engineer at Google Australia, said all code would be broken back and all programs using Python will need changes. Baxter also added another tidbit for attendees saying that Python accounts for around 15 percent of Google's code base."
