[06:31] <Prabhakar> hi
[06:33] <Prabhakar> Is anybody developing apps for Ubuntu?
[06:34] <DanChapman> Prabhakar: I am
[06:35] <Prabhakar> DanChapman: Cool
[06:36] <Prabhakar> Do you have any local community of Ubuntu developers?
[11:38] <ironhalik> Hello
[11:39] <ironhalik> I'm wondering - what's with Ubuntu migration between python2 and python3
[11:39] <ironhalik> if I go with python3, will I have any serious problems developing for 12.04 and up?
[11:42] <DanChapman> Hi, 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 believe
[11:43] <DanChapman> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Python/3
[11:44] <ironhalik> Python is nice but it's quite messed up compared to Java. Just b/c of the migration thing
[11:45] <DanChapman> If you develop in 3 to start with you wont have no problems
[11:46] <DanChapman> The python 2.x packages will be around in the repo's for some time so even if you have depends, they will still be avilable
[11:46] <DanChapman> available.
[11:46] <ironhalik> there shouldn't be any compatibility issues with existing system stuff? I'm wondering about networking, notifyOSD, and GTK ofcourse
[11:48] <ironhalik> ah well, I guess I'll go with python 3.x. Python devs say it will be the default choice before 2015 :>
[11:48] <ironhalik> thank you for the help DanChapman
[11:52] <DanChapman> i presume thats due to 2.7 being no longer supported after 2015? Anyway no problem ironhalik
[11:53] <ironhalik> I think they'll still maintain 2.7, but they assume most of new code will be in python3.x
