I don't think that the rules should be implicitly considered compatible between the 2.X and 3.X series. Python 2.X has a history that extends to X==6, X==5 and even X==4, as a really conservative POV with an extent over more than 10 years. I believe, such a thing does not exist for the Python 3.X series at all. My impression is that no 3.X user ever would want to stick with any older version. Is that true, or am I totally wrong? cheers -- Chris - -- Christian Tismer :^) tis...@stackless.com Software Consulting : http://www.stackless.com/ Karl-Liebknecht-Str. 121 : http://www.pydica.net/ 14482 Potsdam : GPG key -> 0xFB7BEE0E phone +49 173 24 18 776 fax +49 (30) 700143-0023 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.22 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - https://gpgtools.org iQEcBAEBCgAGBQJUMur7AAoJEOcwEVD7e+4OW0UIAJk2ZTFX3OjBrt1G0RZc9nPb hHVxGJNXNeBellM9BpmoW9t9hgk94lAIgmh5hop5uMt32o9CH47s97rKw7K1ekl5 sML/4hl5/BLRiHXgwSB1ZltqZrvG/xsE6AE1v37BcPf/X3T4UfPhW30z+43eaBJw Q3b21EwxxUJGJ//GWwi2+buCfkfRuePBIB4MQiMm3/JI9h03EPbRoQ0/53huKLeW I7oAemVzprQHw7coaTf6EOHFTlmUfHvm5K9ywpabX10/Ediz1suJfPMPdzUigHG3 G3ABMKAA1YockpfIDU/7rpmDcliblpjU5MT4BsZycuYXOyUesV6uDaLMOdO5fEY= =ZuoT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
