Well I don't think any of us have found that python 2.3 has significant
new conveniences that can't be done adequately in 2.2 (i.e., it's
possible to implement the itertools module in pure python, emulate the
new dict creation behavior, etc.). It seems to be mostly new modules,
bugfixes, and performance enhancements. Moving from 2.1 to 2.2 does
have significant new features, though (mostly generators and new style
classes).
Also, when 2.3 is released, hopefully in a few months, it'll probably
take the better part of a year /after/ that for python 2.3 to come into
common use (i.e. ISPs, linux distributions, etc.).
