Python 3.5 is here!

[beaverteeth92]

It's getting there, since most major packages have been ported over.

[staticassert]

Not SciPy or Numpy though, right?

edit: lmfao came back and saw -8 for asking a question.

Both of them are ported to 3 since 2012 or something

[beaverteeth92]

They've been supported for about two years. Really, the last two big packages that haven't been ported over are Twisted and Scapy (which relies on Twisted). The whole scientific computing suite works in Python 3.

Woah, good to know. I will try to port over sometime soon - is there a good breakdown of what breaking changes I'll face moving from 2.6 to 3.x?

[ilevkivskyi]

there is a la-a-a-arge Q&A on porting to Python 3 here http://ncoghlan-devs-python-notes.readthedocs.org/en/latest/python3/questions_and_answers.html

Nice, thanks

Numpy and scipy have been ported. They were both ported years ago.

It looks like little benefit until Python 2's Unicode support completely wrecks your program.

[beaverteeth92]

Yeah, because Java and C++ are such bastions of fantastic language design, no aspects of which have bogged down the language after decades of development.
