It's not like you still couldn't plug in an old CD drive into your Mac. It will still work just fine. You can't plug in an old Python 2.x plugin into Python 3.x.

Why not. Are you familiar with SciPy's `weave` module? It's basically a plugin for plugging C++ code into your Python. In a variety of extremely cool compile-on-the-fly ways. It's really quite sweet :)

No reason you can't do that with Python 2.7. Should be easier in fact because the interface will be much thinner.

I am NOT saying this is a good idea however! Haha
