New submission from Steven R. Loomis <s...@monkey.sbay.org>: It would be nice if http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.1.1/ had the '3 vs 2' explanation made more prominent, just as it was in the 3.0. Maybe I've been living under a rock, but I didn't realize that 3 was such a change. Maybe the words 'backwards-incompatible' could be a link to http://docs.python.org/dev/3.0/whatsnew/3.0.html which explained things quite nicely. You could also add something on the home page, with a link to that same page under the title "3 versus 2?"
Please consider the scenario where someone "needs python installed" to run an existing program, and they go to http://www.python.org - wanting to download the latest version would be the logical thing to do. You could use this opportunity to suggest running the 2to3 converter and so upgrading their existing program. Again, the 3.1.1 release page doesn't have the link to 2to3, but 3.0 does. Thank you for your consideration. ---------- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation messages: 93620 nosy: georg.brandl, srl severity: normal status: open title: Suggest better documentation of 2 versus 3 on 3.1.1 site. type: feature request versions: Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7067> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
