So, I'm curious about this whole python 3k thing. Is python
migrating to 3k
only? Will 2.x no longer be "officially" supported?
If you look at what happened with other major language changes
(Perl 4->5 for example) there is likely to be a lot of support
for 2.X Python for several years. This will likely be driven by
necessity,
there is an awful lot of code out there that won't be upgraded to 3
for
a long time. But new features will likely start to only appear in 3.
And 2.X releases will be focused on bug fixes etc.
If so/not, what are some of the arguments for migrating to 3k? What
makes it
"better" than the python we all know and love?
There is a web page somewhere on the web site that gives a list
of the new features/improvements. None of them are totally compelling
for me but I am starting to look into it now.
