Python 3.0

Lil One · 02-02-2009, 10:35 PM

Although I don't spend much time on programming anymore, I discovered Python got released (December 3rd, 2008) after years of development and several release candidates, and I thought I would announce it here.

Python 3000 or Py3K as it has also been called ships with lots of new features, including the already-known feature (if one can say so), that it won't be fully compatible with the old 2.x, so the programmer will have to update old scripts in order to get them working with Py3K. Various tools have been released to ease this task, including an official one.

Here's some links you may want to check out:
Release notes and downloads
Releases on the FTP
What's new in Py3K?
Changelog
The new documentation
The PEP on Py3K
Tool for easening the conversion

I'm a newbie and want to learn a programming language, willy-nilly I picked python...

Should I go with 2.6.x which at first glance seems extremely well documented, or should I go with 3.0, which is new and shiny?!

I want...no...I'm going to NEED fantastic documentation or I'm going to fail miserable at this...

Thanks for your opinion!
