The first time I came up with the idea of Python 3000 was probably at a Python conference in the year 2000. The name was a take on Windows 2000. For a long time there wasn't much more than a list of regrets and flaws that were impossible to fix without breaking backwards compatibility. The idea was that Python 3000 would be the first Python release to give up backwards compatibility in favor of making it the best language going forward.
