Ask HN: Time to start using Python 3.x?
Is is time to start using Python 3.x?
I'll be starting a project for a class next semester, not sure what at this time, but it will be in Python. Is Python 3 now at the stage where one should start using it regularly for projects?
- nostrademons 13y agoFor class - yeah, definitely use Python 3. There's basically no downside to this - you'll write your project and never touch it again after 4 months, and in the meantime you'll have gained valuable experience for yourself as to whether you should use Python 3 for future projects. The folks who should pause before using Python 3 are those who have to maintain legacy systems that need to interface with libraries that may or may not support it.
- dhruvkar 13y agoNoted. Thanks.
- jdkanani 13y agoI am using Python 3.3 for my startup, and I never have to look back yet. I think you should go for Python 3 for class.
- dhruvkar 13y agoThanks. What's your startup?
- workhere-io 13y agoFlask supports Python 3, but a lot of its plugins don't, according to http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/python3/ http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/python3/.
- dagw 13y agoIf the libraries you need are all ported, absolutely.
