Python 3.4 Steps Closer With New Features

[prodigy_]

Yeah, because python is a functional language.

Interfaces

Python still doesn't have;
* public/private/protected access modifiers.
* Class interfaces, abstract classes, etc

Python is great for small scripts, but I am not sure if its any good for big projects with services, repositories and multiple backends and pluggable modules.

Umph. Hope it is at least keeping compatibility. I mean, new features and fixes are a good thing but in the past Python didn't seem to be too compatible among versions. Which sucks since quite a bunch of things rely on it (and not only on Gentoo).

Python kept backwards-compatibility up through 2.7. 3.0-3.3 had some breaks, but I think the 3.x releases have been backwards-compatible since 3.3.
