Current releases of both Python 2.7 and Python 3.2 appear to run fine on the Windows 8 Developer Preview. You should download and install the preview to ensure that your own code is compatible.

It should be possible, as the new APIs were designed to be used from dynamic languages, but I haven't decided if I'm crazy enough to try it. - Jeff ___ Python-Dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com

Another question is whether Python can take advantage of WinRT (the new UI framework). It should be possible, as the new APIs were designed to be used from dynamic languages, but I haven't decided if I'm crazy enough to try it. Python doesn't do GUI on its own, so the direct answer to this question is "no, it can't take advantage of WinRT". Of course, people might start writing Python wrappers for WinRT, possibly leading to a PyRT package. Alternatively, wxWindows might start using WinRT, which would automatically expose it to wxPython applications. Likewise, Tk might integrate support for WinRT, in which case IDLE might make use of it out of the box.

Most likely, all versions back to Python 1.1 or so will be compatible with Windows 8 (when 32-bit Windows support was first added to Python). Python uses very little of the Windows API (compared to, say, a game). Microsoft isn't going to break any of this for the next decade. Support for 16-bit applications is being dropped, but Python didn't really support 16-bit Windows all that well (although there was a DOS port).

[Python-Dev] Not able to do unregister a code
Hi, I am facing a memory leaking issue with codecs. I make my own ABC class and register it with codes. import codecs codecs.register(ABC) but I am not able to remove ABC from memory. Is there any alternative to do that.
