Since I'm working right now on a report generator using LaTeX, I was all excited until I hit this: "Because of the Unicode requirement, I opted to skip Python 2 and go with Python 3 which uses Unicode for all text strings."
Really? Python2 is still extremely common, it's too bad I can't this now, if it's not backwards compatible.
- zokier 13y ago> Python2 is still extremely common So is Python3. They are not mutually exclusive. Python3 is in Debian oldstable (released in 2011), Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, Fedora since version 13 (from 2010), and in openSuse since 11.2 (from 2009).
- Demiurge 13y agoI didn't say they are mutually exclusive. I said I don't care about Python 3, I need Python 2 version :)
