I would be really surprised if 2.7 would simplify porting to 3.x. How
could that possibly work?
The only things I can think of that would go into this category are
features like:
- PEP 3118, revised buffer protocol. If the buffer API that numpy
uses is not present in py3k (I'm no expert on the subject, but
it seems this way from a recent thread on python-dev), then if
they could move to PEP 3118 in 2.7 their migration to 3.x would
be easier
But only if NumPy would drop support for 2.x, for x < 7, right?
That would probably be many years in the future.
Right. But that might be their best migration strategy: wait for 2.7 to
be available everywhere, port to 2.7, then port to 3.4 (or whatever the
current version of 3.x would be, then).
