What are the major benefits from moving to Python 3? The major and most 
important change I see in Py3K is the string-as-unicode implementation.
That's a big advantage. However everything else is in some way syntactical 
sugar. Py3k still won't run on multiple CPUs, it still uses the GIL... 
improvements in this area would be arguments for me to move to Py3K.
Only speaking for my self, I don't see major improvements that would my 
daily Python experience significantly.
