The way to make Python 3 more attractive is to backport the best bits to Python 2.8...
- tdicola 12y agoOfficially there are no plans for 2.8. Version 2.7 is the last one (but they'll keep supporting it with bug fixes AFAIK, hence why it's up to 2.7.9).
- willvarfar 12y agoYou can lead the python horse to water but you cannot make it drink... :( My point is that there ought be a 2.8, and it ought to keep growing. I sat through a similar talk about (lack of) 3.x adoption at PyConSwe last year. Who did the people who invented 3.x think their customers were? What did they think people wanted and needed?
- eiopa 12y agoI want Python 2.8. This is Python 2.7, but is based on PyPy (so it's waaay faster), and has requests + gevent + lxml built-in, and adds some small niceties from 3.x (yield from, a, b* = foo()).
