They probably should have followed the PHP release pattern, which introduces breaking changes to the language in a more gradual way, over a couple of releases, instead of doing it in one big go.

On the other hand, the assumptions people have about the changes between Python 2 and 3 are probably bigger than they really are. I've started writing new code in P3 the last two years or so, and the only thing that still stumbles me from time to time is the parentheses around the `print` method.

Honestly, the string / unicode fix is the biggest thing that breaks Python 2 scripts in Python 3, and Python 3 is so much better for having made the change. I don't see how that particular change could have been pushed through without breaking everything--and yes, I am counting the miscellaneous fixes they pushed through afterwards like bringing back u''.
