Hi all, I'm extremely happy to announce the release of pywin32 build 213 - the first release of pywin32 with support for Python 3.x.
This release has a large number of changes and should, in general, be considered BETA quality - please refer to the release notes below for details. The full change log is at https://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=661475 Get it now via http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=78018&package_id=79063 &release_id=661475 Finally-ly... Mark Release Notes: -------------- This is the first release of pywin32 with support for Python 3.0. Both as a direct result of this, and given the opportunity, many modernizations and internal cleanups have been made. Many of the hacks necessary when Python didn't support unicode have been removed, and many old modules which also predate unicode (such as Pythonwin) have been dragged, sometimes kicking and screaming, into a modern era. While very few of these changes should be visible to users of the package, this build should be treated as BETA quality. While this build has many more unit tests than previous builds and no significant known problems exist, it is likely some corners will have regressions. Please test this build thoroughly before relying on it for production work. For Python 3.0 in particular, some details are subject to change in the future without regard for backwards compatibility. For example, if this build allows you to pass 'bytes' where only a string makes logical sense, we reserve the right to 'fix' this oversight. Obviously common-sense rules here though; we will not break sensible applications in the pursuit of purity. Please see the pywin32 documentation for more details on py3k support. Thanks to Roger Upole, without whom this huge effort wouldn't have even started yet, and to Jason R. Coombs and Vernon Cole for their help getting the win32timezone and adodbapi modules working on py3k. Enjoy! _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
