Python reborn aka Python 3.0 (or Python 3000)
December 8th, 2008
I missed that !
5 days ago, Python 3.0 aka Python 3000 was announced on Python.org.
This is a new start for Python as they made breaking changes and the 2.x branch is not fully compatible. For developers it means they have to learn a somewhat different breed of Python. For existing projects and the thousands of libraries in the wild, the question will be when and will it make sense to port to Python 3.0 ?
A new project starting now have to decide if they go the 2.x or 3.0 way. I bet they will continue the 2.x for a while since third party work is 2.x compatible right now.
