Update for Python 3000
Wednesday November 12, 2008
Python 3.0rc2 is available for download now. If you are trying to stay up on developments in Python 3000, be sure to check this out. As mentioned previously, there are a host of changes in the 3.0 syntax that one must be aware of when going forward with long-term development projects. If you are looking for a utility to convert your old Python 2.x code to 3.0, check out 2to3.
Despite the final release of 3000 drawing ever closer (expected: December 2008), any thought of keeping pace in an upgrade race can be shelved. Corporate inertia has made it such that some companies are still using Python 2.3 or earlier. These organisations will gradually need to upgrade, but there is no rush.
