AFAIK python 3.5 and 3.6 are significantly faster than 2.7 and uses less memory due to dictionary optimizations. I don’t think speed has been a real argument in a while. Also, python 3 is almost entirely compatible with python 2 (although C is probably even more so).
- newen 8y agoEveryone would have migrated to python 3 years ago if it was almost entirely compatible with python 2. It's just not.
- CJefferson 8y agoC and Python's compatibility aren't comparable. It's quite hard to write a C89 program that isn't C99. Basically any Python 2 program that uses 'print' won't be valid Python 3. Even after fixing that, I always find a bunch of string related problems.
