Hi everybody !

We are looking forward for using python for .Net in our project. I am
very impressed by the library that is working today on .Net 3.5 (WPF and
co) and python 2.6 virtually without any commit for the last couple of
years! J

Still, what do you think about python 3.0? Have you ever tried to be
compatible with it? Is there any big issue you have already imagine?



Thanks

Guillaume

Hi Guillaume ­ the runtime is very sensitive to internal structural changes
in
the CPython runtime, so I¹m sure there would be some work involved. Some
things I can think of off the top of my head:

- unicode changes / bytes type (this could be a giant pain)

- int / long unification

- need to support views and iterators

- exception hierarchy changes

- extension api changes

It¹s probably enough work that it will take someone committed and invested
to make it happen...
