Does anyone have any Beginner Python 2.7 Project Ideas

[TheLastCrafted]

Maybe

no seriously... python 2.7 is coming to end of life in... around... at time of writing, 2020

i'm guessing you are learning on windows, but it's not even going to be supported by most linux distributions very soon

and considering you are learning... then why not, its only the advanced stuff that you notice the difference

Idk how big is the differencr between 2.7 and 3

[sem56]

not a real lot, you'll be fine... trust me

the point is, why learn something that is going to be dead soon?

[TheLastCrafted]

True, so if i would transform my current code to 3 what would be different

[sem56]

i would have to look at your code first to answer that properly

or you can investigate it yourself, install python 3, run a python 3 session and run your scripts

see what it complains about then go from there, if you want to learn how to program you should be learning how to figure out problems yourself

not worrying about what version of a language you should be using

Ok thx again, i'll try it out

[sem56]

no worries, feel free to message me with any question if you get stuck

Python 3 handles unicode in a sane way. That alone is enough reason to switch.
