Ye for the professional programmers using Python I guess the changes are welcome. It is easier to keep up with additions over time rather than getting them all at once. C++ has the same problem, but it's selling point has never been easy to use.

I'm one of those people who worry that Python - which used to be pretty accessible - is heading in the same direction as C++, and will be buried under archaeological layers of cruft and obscurity.

2.x and 3.x seem to be diverging philosophically, and I'm not convinced that's a good thing.

C++ during the 1990's was easy enough to be learnt by high school kids.
