Hi all, I am just curious: if Python3.x is already out, why is 2.7 being released? Are there two main types of Python? Thanks.
Old code and old programming habits may work as-is with 2.7 but not with a 3.x implementation.
So yes, there are two main extant variants of Python, 2.x and 3.x (and more if you count even earlier versions).
2.7 helps to ease the transition, and provides bug-fixes and better efficiency for the 2.x variant.
