You know what's funny? All of those things could have been done in Python 2.8, apart from the int division change. And the division change does as much harm as good, because lots of people use Python and also use another language where int division works the "old fashioned way"; for them (me) this change is counter-productive because it adds a pointless distinction. It is a great change for programming novices, for sure, but that's only part of Python's audience, and probably won't be the longest-lived part.
