Guido van Rossum, the creator of the Python programming language, has published on his blog an interesting status report for Python 3.0 ('Python 3000'), the upcoming major revision to the language scheduled for mid-2008. He discusses the rationale for redesigning the language, syntax changes, new features and libraries and inter-compatibility issues.

I think it is a practical problem, not necessary with the language, but perhaps with the tools we have today.
Let me explain, I quite regularly code in several different code editors (varying between common text editors and common IDE's) on different operating system. The problem I see when switching editors is that the white space indentation will more often than not be mis-aligned.
This often occurs in GNU/Emacs, switching from Emacs to other text editors, and the indentation is mis-aligned.
Don't mis-interpret me too much here, I am very, very picky with how my code is indented, otherwise I can't cope with the code on a professional level.
