PyCon 2007 Wrapup (O'ReillyNet)
Jeremy Jones reports
on PyCon 2007. "I recently attended PyCon 2007. It's interesting to
look back on the previous year when trying to figure out where to focus my
attention in the next year. In organizing my thoughts, I hope to give you
some useful information on what's coming. I also had the pleasure of
sitting down with Guido van Rossum, Python's creator and benevolent
dictator for life. This is the first time that backward compatibility is an
issue, and Guido addresses what you need to do to prepare, discusses the
strengths and weaknesses of the new conversion tool, and points out the
benefits of several new language features (for example, full support for
Unicode strings). He also discusses the controversy and misunderstanding
some of these changes have caused in the Python community, and how they're
being resolved."
