Whenever possible, Python 2.6 incorporates new features and syntax from 3.0 while remaining compatible with existing code by not removing older features or syntax.

I thought that would bug me when I first started using Python back in the 1.x days, and it did. However, it really stops being an issue after just a short while.
While I'm a die-hard fan of parenthesis and curly braces, I think Python's syntax forces good code formatting and makes your code very easy to read. Also, when a problem comes my way, the first language I reach for to solve it is Python, so I think the Python team must be doing something right; at least from my point of view.
