A colleague and I are embarking on a project for a client. We have agreed to implement a REST API in Falcon (www.falconframework.org) and colleague wants to implement it in Python 3.
Python 3 is the future and where we will all inevitably wind up. There are very few people still using Python 1.x nowadays, progress happens. And its much easier to start a new project on a new version that to try to migrate it after your got it built. So I'd see this as an opportunity to move with the times and go with v3. Once you get used to it - and it is a big jump, don't underestimate the learning time - v3 is superior. It's more consistent and the new features are potentially useful. Take the time to really explore what v3 offers, not just the new syntax items. Caveat: If you need a specialist library that hasn't been ported that may force you to use v2. But very few of the s significant libraries are stuck on 2 now. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
