Hi Gregor,
I'm not officially involved at all (thanks, Phil!) but pygame 1.8.1
has already been ported to python 2.6, which
means it should be an easy port (if there's any more work involved at
all) to 3.0 when it's released.
I wouldn't take this for granted, as Python 3.0 will not be compatible
to 2.6 any more. Things that changed are described here, for instance:
http://docs.python.org/dev/3.0/whatsnew/3.0.html
One particular change that almost certainly will make problems (if not
with pygame itself at least with some pygame applications) is the change
of the division operator: 3/2 return a float in Python 3.0. If you need
an integer you have to use 3//2. That means, that games that you have
written for Python 2.6 or earlier will not necessarily run under Python
3.0 and thus will also have to be ported to 3.0 (if one decides to use
this new version). On the other side the Python 2.x branch will be
maintained for several years from now and there are also plans to
release a 2.7 and probably a 2.8 in the future.
So perhaps someone who is 'officially involved' could answer my original
question
Regards,
Gregor
