|
|
Python 3000 (a.k.a. "Py3k", and released as Python 3.0) is a new
|
|
version of the language, which is incompatible with the 2.x line of
|
|
releases. The language is mostly the same, but many details,
|
|
especially how built-in objects like dictionaries and strings work,
|
|
have changed considerably, and a lot of deprecated features have
|
|
finally been removed.
|
|
|
|
This is an ongoing project; the cleanup isn't expected to be complete
|
|
until some time in 2008. In particular there are plans to reorganize
|
|
the standard library namespace.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Release Schedule
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
The release plan is to have a series of alpha releases in 2007, beta
|
|
releases in 2008, and a final release in August 2008. The alpha
|
|
releases are primarily aimed at developers who want a sneak peek at
|
|
the new langauge, especially those folks who plan to port their code
|
|
to Python 3000. The hope is that by the time of the final release,
|
|
many 3rd party packages will already be available in a 3.0-compatible
|
|
form.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Documentation
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Documentation for Python 3000 is online, updated twice a day:
|
|
|
|
http://docs.python.org/dev/3.0/
|
|
|
|
This is a work in progress; please help improve it!
|
|
|
|
The design documents for Python 3000 are also online. While the
|
|
reference documentation is being updated, the PEPs are often the best
|
|
source of information about new features. Start by reading PEP 3000:
|
|
|
|
http://python.org/dev/peps/pep-3000/
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's New
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
For an overview of what's new in Python 3000, see Guido van Rossum's
|
|
blog at artima.com:
|
|
|
|
http://www.artima.com/weblogs/index.jsp?blogger=guido
|
|
|
|
We try to eventually have a comprehensive overview of the changes in
|
|
the "What's New in Python 3.0" document, found at
|
|
|
|
http://docs.python.org/dev/3.0/whatsnew/3.0
|
|
|
|
Please help write it!
|
|
|
|
If you want to install multiple versions of Python see the section below
|
|
entitled "Installing multiple versions".
|
|
|
|
|
|
What's New Since 3.0a1
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Undoubtedly the biggest change is in the bytes type: 'bytes' is now
|
|
immutable, and there is a new mutable bytes type 'bytearray'. These
|
|
two types are interoperable in every way. For more info on this
|
|
issue, read PEP 3137.
|
|
|
|
For a more detailed change log, read Misc/NEWS (though this file, too,
|
|
is incomplete, and also doesn't list anything merged in from the 2.6
|
|
release under development).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Converting From Python 2.x to 3.0
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Python 2.6 (not yet released) will contain features to help locating
|
|
code that needs to be changed, such as optional warnings when
|
|
deprecated features are used, and backported versions of certain key
|
|
Python 3000 features.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installing multiple versions
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
On Unix and Mac systems if you intend to install multiple versions of Python
|
|
using the same installation prefix (--prefix argument to the configure
|
|
script) you must take care that your primary python executable is not
|
|
overwritten by the installation of a different versio. All files and
|
|
directories installed using "make altinstall" contain the major and minor
|
|
version and can thus live side-by-side. "make install" also creates
|
|
${prefix}/bin/python which refers to ${prefix}/bin/pythonX.Y. If you intend
|
|
to install multiple versions using the same prefix you must decide which
|
|
version (if any) is your "primary" version. Install that version using
|
|
"make install". Install all other versions using "make altinstall".
|
|
|
|
For example, if you want to install Python 2.5, 2.6 and 3.0 with 2.6 being
|
|
the primary version, you would execute "make install" in your 2.6 build
|
|
directory and "make altinstall" in the others.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configuration options and variables
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
A source-to-source translation tool, "2to3", can take care of the
|
|
mundane task of converting large amounts of source code. It is not a
|
|
complete solution but is complemented by the deprecation warnings in
|
|
2.6. This tool is currently available via the Subversion sandbox:
|
|
|
|
http://svn.python.org/view/sandbox/trunk/2to3/
|
|
|
|
|
|
Issue Tracker and Mailing List
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
We're soliciting bug reports about all aspects of the language. Fixes
|
|
are also welcome, preferable in unified diff format. Please use the
|
|
issue tracker:
|
|
|
|
http://bugs.python.org/
|
|
|
|
If you're not sure whether you're dealing with a bug or a feature, use
|
|

Build Instructions
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
On Unix, Linux, BSD, OSX, and Cygwin:
|
|
|
|
./configure
|
|
make
|
|
make test
|
|
sudo make install # or "make altinstall"
|
|
|
|
You can pass many options to the configure script; run "./configure
|
|
--help" to find out more. On OSX and Cygwin, the executable is called
|
|
python.exe; elsewhere it's just python.
|
|
|
|
On Mac OS X, if you have configured Python with --enable-framework,
|
|
you should use "make frameworkinstall" to do the installation. Note
|
|
that this installs the Python executable in a place that is not
|
|
normally on your PATH, you may want to set up a symlink in
|
|
/usr/local/bin.
|
|
|
|
On Windows, see PCbuild/readme.txt.
|
|
|
|
If you wish, you can create a subdirectory and invoke configure from
|
|
there. For example:
|
|
|
|
mkdir debug
|
|
cd debug
|
|
../configure --with-pydebug
|
|
make
|
|
make test
|
|
|
|
(This will fail if you *also* built at the top-level directory. You
|
|
should do a "make clean" at the toplevel first.)
