I went to 3.3 a while ago but reverted back to 2.7 because out of the 10 or so crucial libraries I needed, one was still on 2.7. Bloomberg. (http://www.bloomberglabs.com/api/libraries/ http://www.bloomberglabs.com/api/libraries/). That's what the people who talk about high percentages of libraries already ported to 3, miss. All you need is a single one not to be ported and the future stays on hold.
I have taken to using the 3 syntax in 2.7 so that I am prepared, but until this particular library moves, I cannot.
- eevee 11y agoThe GitHub repo suggests there's been Python 3 support for a while: https://github.com/filmackay/blpapi-py https://github.com/filmackay/blpapi-py I've run into my fair share of Python 3 roadblocks, but you'd be surprised how far you can get by making a little noise and sending the occasional patch. Library authors are much more willing to prioritize Python 3 support if it looks like people actually need it :)
- vegabook 11y agoI will try to compile this today - appreciate that thank you. I understand that Ubuntu is making Python 3 the default from 16.04 onwards so I need to get moving. Looks like the long dusk for 2.x is finally turning to night.
- apaprocki 11y agoThe official library supports 3.x, and the downloads are on the link you put in your original comment.
