I thought Antoine was just responding to the fact that Ethan's comment didn't mention 3.2. Re. the installation hook, let me get this right. If I have to work with code that needs to run under 3.2 or earlier *and* 3.3, and say that because this PEP has been accepted, the code contains both u'xxx' and 'yyy' forms of Unicode literal, then I can't just edit-save-test, right? I have to run your hook every time I want to switch between testing with 3.3 and 3.2 (say). Isn't this exactly the same problem as with running 2to3, except that your hook might run faster? I'm not convinced you can guarantee a seamless testing experience ;-) Regards, Vinay Sajip _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
