Python 3.0 appears, strangles 2.x compatibility
Submitted by srlinuxx on Thu, 12/04/2008 - 16:36.
Python 3.0 is out now. The latest version makes some major changes to the popular programming language, and it's incompatible with version 2.x releases.
It's the first Python intentionally made to break compatibility, according to project founder Guido van Rossum. He describes in the release notes that 3.0 focuses on fixing well-known annoyances and removing outdated code.
"The language is mostly the same, but many details, especially how to build-in objects like dictionaries and strings work, have changed considerably."
Python needs to think virtual for backward compatibility ? So ?
Python 3.0 can now do simple office apps to compete with Open Office.
Novell is big on virtualization of operating codes, then how come Python 3.0 uses physical codes to strangle backward compatibility.
All these features of spell checker, layout planner and save to a file or save a string or array name(by drag and drop for spreadsheets) can be operating with tools and utilities to keep Python backward compatible, forever? New netbook Linux will add many tools and utilties on older kernels to advance technology without worrying about obsolescence.
Novell is famous for charging $hundreds per user for tools and utilities? So, why?
We are stockholders of Novl. Opinions here maybe biased.
what are you smoking, man?
Gimme some smokeable layout planners
Wish you smoke the same stuff ? Shame on you ? Webpage ?
Currently, Microsoft is working on layout planner converting webpages to html+motion jpeg. It is now being spread out verticaly. Then it will be subdivided into many smaller pages for Windows7.
Layout planners are simpler than you think. But you need to know what resolution you will end up with. Linotype(zoom for font sizes) layout for newspaper is a big market, killer app of drag and drop technology. Then you might do column and row mathematical fit(land subdivision or equal plot size for each track house)?
Have fun. But keep your civil tone. Smoking is bad for your health.
