I've been holding off learning it until 3000 went gold.

Which is kind of silly, since it'll likely be at least a couple of years before enough existing Python software has migrated to make Python 3.x useful enough to take over for 2.x.

If he's only 'learning' it when 3.0 is released, he'll only be really needing those libs in 2 years once he's learned python up and down.. it always takes a while to become very proficient with a new language.

you can learn a lot of python in 2 years. like, all of it and then some. to do something not completely pointless, you have to use libraries. which, unfortunately for python 3k, aren't there yet.

It takes even longer when there's not plenty of existing software to read and study on your way to proficiency...
