I think it helps Luca and many others (including myself) if there is a reference of the difference between 2.7 and Python 3.3+.
Not specifically for 2.7 and 3.3, no. This is a fairly complete list:
http://python3porting.com/differences.html
There are PEPs and books, but is there any such long list of references?
If not, should we start investing in one? I know the basic one such as xrange and range, items vs iteritems, izip vs zip that sort of uniform syntax/library inclusion difference.
If there is such reference available?
I'm honestly despairing that people still don't know that there is a free book on the topic. I have no idea how to increase the knowledge on this point.
I think we collectively need better SEO, or something like that. Python 3 would be in a better place if people actually knew the current state of things, versus asking people on "Hacker News".
Perhaps there should be a porting guide as a prominent chapter in http://docs.python.org/3/ ? Regards Antoine.
