Python is also adaptable as an extension language for existing +applications. + +Python 3 (a.k.a. "Python 3000" or "Py3k") is a new version of the +language that is incompatible with the 2.x line of releases. The +language is mostly the same, but many details, especially how built-in +objects like dictionaries and strings work, have changed considerably, +and a lot of deprecated features have finally been removed.
