Hello, 2009/5/7 john maclean <jaye...@gmail.com>:
<snips> > Are many people actually using python 3? Probably not - yet. But if you are developing new software you should be using Python 3, ready for when it becomes the default in Linux distributions (already it is, in Ubuntu 9.04). Python 3 offers several advantages over Python 2, notably consistent string handling (always Unicode), as well as removal of cruft built up since 1991, and most significantly that's where future language and library development will take place. At Clockwork we've started porting our codebase, which involves quite a lot of work as we have masses of Python 2 stuff. and having finished porting our C extensions I can report that Python 3 is indeed a big improvement, but it's nothing to be frightened of, it's like meeting an old friend who's had a makeover.
