This is Python version 3.0 alpha 1
==================================
For notes specific to this release, see RELNOTES in this directory.
Python 3000 (a.k.a. "Py3k", and released as Python 3.0) is a new
version of the language, which is incompatible with the 2.x line of
releases. The language is mostly the same, but many details,

until 2008. In particular there are plans to reorganize the standard
library namespace.
This README hasn't been fully updated for Python 3000 yet. If you see

Python 3000 Release Notes
=========================
Release notes describe unfinished work in particular releases.
Please report bugs to http://bugs.python.org/.
Version 3.0a1 - Release Date 31-Aug-2007
----------------------------------------
- SSL support is disabled. This causes a test_ssl to be skipped.
The new SSL support in the 2.6 trunk (with server-side support and
certificate verification) will be ported for 3.0a2.
- Platform support is reduced. We've mostly tested on Linux, OSX,
and Windows.
- There are still some open issues on Windows.
- Some new features are very fresh, and probably contain bugs: the new
format() method on strings (PEP 3101), the strict separation of
bytes and strings, the new buffer API (PEP 3118).
