First beta releases of Python 2.6 and Python 3.0 (groups.google.com)

What's new here: http://docs.python.org/dev/3.0/whatsnew/3.0.html

Looks like 3.0 is still weakly typed, making it unsuitable for anything but glue:

    In [1]: True + 1
    Out[1]: 2

    In [2]: (False + 1 == True) - 5
    Out[2]: -4
