Thanks for that link. People forget, or don't realise, that Python 2.7 *is* the 2.8 they are looking for. Python 3 came out with 2.5. There have already been two transitional releases, 2.6 and 2.7, which have partially introduced 3 features such as "from __future__ import division" etc. Python 3.0 final was released on December 3rd, 2008, just two months (almost to the day) after 2.6. https://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6 https://www.python.org/download/releases/3.0 -- Steven D'Aprano http://import-that.dreamwidth.org/ -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
