ironhalikHello11:38
ironhalikI'm wondering - what's with Ubuntu migration between python2 and python311:39
ironhalikif I go with python3, will I have any serious problems developing for 12.04 and up?11:39
DanChapmanHi, i would just go with python3. python2.x packages are still shipped with ubuntu for older applications with dependencies on them but python3 is the future i believe11:42
DanChapmanhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Python/311:43
ironhalikPython is nice but it's quite messed up compared to Java. Just b/c of the migration thing11:44
DanChapmanIf you develop in 3 to start with you wont have no problems11:45
DanChapmanThe python 2.x packages will be around in the repo's for some time so even if you have depends, they will still be avilable11:46
DanChapmanavailable.11:46
ironhalikthere shouldn't be any compatibility issues with existing system stuff? I'm wondering about networking, notifyOSD, and GTK ofcourse11:46
ironhalikah well, I guess I'll go with python 3.x. Python devs say it will be the default choice before 2015 :>11:48
ironhalikthank you for the help DanChapman11:48
DanChapmani presume thats due to 2.7 being no longer supported after 2015? Anyway no problem ironhalik11:52
ironhalikI think they'll still maintain 2.7, but they assume most of new code will be in python3.x11:53
