From: Steven D'Aprano on 12 Jul 2010 04:05 Pardon me if this has already been mentioned, but I didn't see it, and this is big big news. The latest release of numpy now supports Python 2.x and 3.x out of a single code base, and Scipy is predicted to follow soon. http://www.mail-archive.com/numpy-discussion(a)scipy.org/msg26524.html If I can take the liberty of quoting Pauli Virtanen: An important point is that supporting Python 3 and Python 2 in the same code base can be done, and it is not very difficult either. It is also much preferable from the maintenance POV to creating separate branches for Python 2 and 3. Well done to all those who contributed to the effort! -- Steven

There are extensive notes on the transition at http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/browser/trunk/doc/Py3K.txt I am sure that some of this should be added to the current HowTo on porting CAPI to Py3. -- Terry Jan Reedy |
