Perhaps we could collect the 2.7 problems in the Wiki? My own experiences so far: My existing applications run as expected. They are partly hand-coded, partly made with the class designer. This is true for Windows XP and for Linux (Xubuntu 11.04, which comes with 2.7.1 as default Python). The DaboDemo runs as expected. I haven't yet tried it out, but if existing applications run, then I see no reason why newly made hand-coded applications shouldn't. If I start the ClassDesigner on Linux and try to open an existing class it crashes. On Windows it starts normally. Sadly I don't remember which of my two Python versions I used to create my last ClassDesigner-made application on Windows (very small, no dGrid). At the moment it looks to me as if only the visual tools are problematic. Right or wrong? I see two reasons to try to document and solve the remaining 2.7 bugs soon: - If Ubuntu and Suse come with 2.7 as default Python, other distributions will probably follow soon. And these are much-used distributions anyway. - On the Python website 2.6 is an "older version" and it says: "Consider your needs carefully before using a version other than the current production version." And it can be seen in this list that quite a number of Dabo users are starting with Python and Dabo more or less at the same time. Will continue trying things out (Xubuntu 11.04 is very new, so I hadn't much time for it to date).
