Exciting. Python 3.3 is the first release of the Python 3 series which makes me go from "I'll have to come around to use Python 3" to "dammit, why isn't my codebase under Python 3 yet?". There's a bunch of neat stuff, minor and not so minor.

There are two significant factions in the Python community: the scientific group and the web-dev group. The scientific group is pretty much on board with Python 3. Perhaps due to unicode handling intricacies, that the web-dev group ain't exactly on board with Python 3 yet. But this needs to change and it takes leadership. Fortunately, bit and pieces such as webob are Python 3 compatible. And personally, I feel the Python web frameworks need a fresh redesign.
