I hope it's not (and in the IDLE thread you say so otherwise too).

It most certainly will be the latest once it's released. But hopefully not the last. :-) //Lennart

It's already hard to sell 2.7 in most companies. Regards, Antonio

Anyway, you should trust Brett Canon: "Python 3.3: Trust Me, It's Better Than Python 2.7".

I also read "the last" by mistake!

https://speakerdeck.com/pyconslides/python-3-dot-3-trust-me-its-better-than-... Was there supposed to be audio with this, or is it slides only? I got no audio :P

Speakerdeck is slides only. The video is here: http://pyvideo.org/video/1730/python-33-trust-me-its-better-than-27

Any plans backport decimal C implementation from 3.3? Thanks. Andriy Kornatskyy ----------------------------------------

Andrew, Thank you for the prompt response back.

will never be backported.

Who knows? Is python 3.3 _decimal interface 100% compatible with one pure python implementation in 2.7? I suppose code written using decimals in python 2.7 should work in python 3 with no changes, or there should be taken caution for something? According to presentation slides, 30x performance boost is something definitely valuable for 2.7 crowd. Thanks. Andriy ----------------------------------------

No. _decimal is new functionality that will never be backported.

No. 2.7 does not accept new features anymore, 

It is clear now.

but you can install this backport from PyPI: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cdecimal/2.3

This is what I was looking for. Thanks. Andriy ________________________________

"latest" is different from "last" :) -- Regards, Benjamin
