Yes, via 2to3 which for good reasons are the official way of supporting both Python 2.x and 3.x at the same time. > For all the backwards incompatibility Python 3 introduced. OK, then I understand the question. The answer is: 2to3. Having two branches is still a terrible idea, which just gives the developers more work, and creates lots of code duplication. I understand that this is not how it's done with Python itself, as mentioned, but this is not Python itself. I understand you arguments that it's not "much work". But it's still work that is not necessary. > But It's quite important imho to have the best strategy for next > releases, and I can't picture the same branch with bits of 2.x and 3.x syntax > in it. You don't have that. You write for Python 2, and convert it with 2to3. -- Lennart Regebro: Python, Zope, Plone, Grok http://regebro.wordpress.com/ +33 661 58 14 64 _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
