Some of the people who need to support both late 2.x and 3.x would prefer to write 3.x code and backport. The OP of a current python-list thread asked whether there was any way to write something like
@alias('__nonzero__') def __bool__(self): return True
How about simply: __nonzero__ = __bool__
I believe my own 3.0 code will mainly also need print() to print statement
If this is only about supporting "late 2.x" (i.e., 2.6 and upwards), you can already write:
People often do not specify. I suspect some are thinking back to 2.5, but that will change in the future.
from __future__ import print_function
I was not aware of that. Would be ok for my current project which has print isolated in a few modules, at least so far.
except e as a to 2.x version
Works in 2.6.
Did not know that. Perhaps a 3 to 2.6+ guide would help.
class C() to class C(object)
Part of the reason to move to 3.0 is to not have to do that.
__metaclass__ = type
Now I'm not saying that all 3.0 code will work in 2.6 with such simple precautions, far from it!
