If python starts going all paranoid schizoid on us, the few remaining holdovers from the good old days will be choosing another language. But don't worry Steven, even if i find a new favorite language, i will always drop in preiodically to say hi. ;-) > > Additional question: Is there a way to execute a python > > script with v3 python engine in v2 compatibility mode? Nope. Even the though the most hated software developer in history offers a compatibility mode for their users, Python does not. Python's philosophy is that you will accept Python3, or you will suffer... As for myself, i'm waiting for Python4. I will skip right over Python3. I say, let the other saps to suffer the migration headaches, because i don't need them. I'm too busy getting stuff done. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
