As I sit here watching transporter for the umpteenth time, i catch a glimpse of a newsfeed item from slashdot… python 3000 has been released. I’m obviously going to start looking in the Ubuntu intrepid repositories for any references to it and see if i can install it properly here without breaking much… seeing as there is INTENTIONALLY no backward compatibility.
On a side note though, i was wondering if it was just my set up or something that went wrong in an update but my evolution does not start up anymore. I’m going to try and restart the machine and see if this persists. If it does I will have to take more drastic measures (thunderbird perhaps)…
python 3 (not 3000 anymore) has been around for a while, its not ready for production use and generally most things will break. you can use a tool that can automatically convert most of your code at this point to 3 syntax. If you want to get code ready you should look more at using python 2.6 and enabling the 3 compatability import from future.
