Pyglet 3000?

[Radix]

Are there plans to port pyglet to python 3.0? I'm just getting started
with Python and I don't want to get too heavily invested in the old
syntax.

Unlike many other projects, porting pyglet to 3.0 will be a major
undertaking, due to the dropping of 8-bit character strings. A 3.0
pyglet may not even be possible (without being unbearably slow)
without introducing a C library dependency. I'll investigate this
more and make a decision on the 2.6/3.0 migration path for pyglet
after the 3.0 release is final.

Maybe this could be interesting: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3137/

The new "byte" type is an immutable array of bytes and basically just
the same as a string in python 2.x

Right; earlier I had seen discussions about the re module (which
pyglet uses extensively for image manipulation) not supporting bytes
objects; but it does now seem to work as with 2.5 strings. I take
back what I said about it being perhaps impossible; though there's
still a lot of work to be done.
