The redirector-like symbols, particularly. After I saw those in action somewhere, I got convinced that having print as a function object is much more pythonic.

My reaction to the print and format changes are that Guido should have said "If you want Java, you know where to get it". I predict that Python 4.0 will have brace syntax (with equally fervent declarations of why whitespace delimiting was always a mistake). OTOH, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. The real test is whether I come around after coding in it for a while. I still hate it, but could be won over.

I also don't see why they couldn't keep the original print as well. They should of just made the print function an additional feature and called it printp or something. A language should be flexible, I don't like being forced. And plus I don't see why they needed to change the original at all. Still hate it!

And finally it's here with all the goodies. I too personally like the all new print function. I was waiting for Python 3 since long. And finally it’s here with all the goodies.
