Is Python 3.0 the Holy Grail?

Is Python 3.0 the Holy Grail?: "According to a Wikipedia entry on the subject: 'An important goal of the Python developers is making Python fun to use. This is reflected in the origin of the name (based on the television series 'Monty Python's Flying Circus'), in the common practice of using Monty Python references in example code, and in an occasionally playful approach to tutorials and reference materials. For example, the metasyntactic variables often used in Python literature are spam and eggs, instead of the traditional foo and bar.'"
