Python might be transitioning to 3.0, but the full migration will take years. Python 2.6 is not going away -- in fact, I see on python.org that new versions of python 2.5 and 2.4 have just been released -- and python 2.7 will come out in time. > If so/not, what are some of the arguments for migrating to 3k?

You can see the short list of what's new/different here: http://docs.python.org/3.0/whatsnew/3.0.html If any of that appeals to you, then go for it :-) An argument for _not_ migrating (yet) is that most 3rd party libraries are still python 2.x. I expect they'll start to change, though, and you might need to migrate eventually if you want access to new stuff. -- John. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
