Have you embraced Python 3.x yet?

From: Harishankar on 26 Mar 2010 09:23 Have you people embraced Python 3.x or still with 2.5 or 2.6? I personally want to switch over but not too sure how many people are using 3.x as opposed to 2 so I want to keep my programs compatible for the majority. -- Hari
From: Alex Hall on 26 Mar 2010 09:29 Because of compatibility, and many modules being built for 2.6 only, I am still on 2.6.4 (updating to .5 soon).

I switched 6 months ago, or so. My library needs are met by what's in CPython, so I couldn't see, at the time, a good reason to sit still. My programs didn't take much effort to convert. They are nearly all data conversion programs. Microsoft rendering the one outside module I did use, an Excel reader, obsolete caused me a lot more trouble than switching from 2.5 to 3.1. Past advice in this forum has been that as long as you don't depend on libraries that don't yet support Python 3, you can probably switch over and not need to look back. -- Neil Cerutti

Some key libraries I am using for apps under development haven't been ported to support 3.x yet (feedparser, pycrypto). -- Kevin Walzer Code by Kevin http://www.codebykevin.com

I have been using Py3 since October, I switched over for the OrderedDict feature. Some parts are a little hard to get used to, but others are easier. I am doing web programming, so the UTF 8 default is a big improvement. -- Gnarlie |
