Today a new version of Python came out Python 3.1. After having 2 RC ’s final version is available for download here
Here’s what they say about this release at http://python.org site.
Python 3.1 is a continuation of the work started by Python 3.0, the new backwards-incompatible series of Python. Improvements in this release include:

* An ordered dictionary type
* Various optimizations to the int type
* New unittest features including test skipping and new assert methods.
* A much faster io module
* Tile support for Tkinter
* A pure Python reference implementation of the import statement
* New syntax for nested with statements

And the what’s new link http://docs.python.org/dev/py3k/whatsnew/3.1.html

I’ll for sure will give it a try soon.
