It's unlikely that it will see much uptake for the coming months if not years, and probably not by many companies until they are forced to (i.e. 2.x is no longer getting maintained). > I'm about to start writing some Python code for extracting data from > log files for reliability testing in work, but I'll be doing it in > Python 2.6, so I'm curious if other people are going to switch > immediately or stick with 2.6 for a while longer.

I'd suggest sticking to 2.x for the time being, even for hobby type code, since at the present time practically none of the third party libs have 3.0 support, never mind being tested and stable. > > On a side note, how does execution performance of 3.0 compare to 2.6? > (Not that its an issue for me, but I am curious) Significantly slower for some operations, particularly on integers. As noted in the 3.0 What's New document, 3.0 is about 10% slower running PyStone (this is part of the stdlib as test.pystone apparently). > > -- > Daniel Kersten. > Leveraging dynamic paradigms since the synergies of 1985. > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Python Ireland" group.
