I think I instinctively thought 3.x was correct since I have no legacy code and this is my first foray into the language. However, there appears to be such a huge number of addons, plugins, extensions and other third party code for the two versions, I didn't want to limit my options.
My long term goal is to write and distribute a Python desktop application as an upgrade to VFP 6 product I've been selling and supporting for years now. The rules for the app are well defined as are the user needs. I thought it might be a great place to start my Python journey, although I have to admit I'm feeling a little overwhelmed starting at ground zero with no library to rely on and no clear understanding of how to get from the development environment to a distributable product, but I guess that is the graduate level class, right? :) Paul H.

Unless you have a lot of legacy code to maintain or third party libs that are stuck on 2.x then 3 all the way IMO. -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm On Sat, 19 Aug 2017, at 08:32 PM, Paul H.
