Ok, I suppose I was not clear. You do not need to "trash" your device just because you want to use Python 3.0. Your code will run on 2.5, 2.6, 3.0 ... and any future Python versions. Do not tie yourself to a specific Python version. In general:

• Code you write for Python 2.5 will run without problems on 2.6/3.0
• Code that you write for Python 2.6/3.0 will run without problems on 2.5

(See http://docs.python.org/whatsnew/index.html for the specific changes on each version; for the new features, there are tools that help you migrate old code to the new versions)

Just look at the Extras repository and see the number of wonderful and complex applications running on Python 2.5. I'm pretty sure you will have no limitations using it for your applications too.

Our packages are based on Debian, which will continue to maintain and make new releases for bug fixes for a long time. There is absolutely no problem in having 2.5.x in Maemo 5 for the entire lifetime of this product (in my opinion).

Continue learning Python and promote your applications to Maemo 5 Extras repository. Then begin reporting bugs you find in our documentation. This is the best way for beginners to help.
