I’ve been coding on Python 2.6 for a while, but i’m still seeing quite a few significant modules (numpy) not getting an upgrade past 2.5 or leaping straight ahead to 3.0.
What are you all sticking to until 3.0 gets a more supported release? Version 2.5 seems the norm, and a few applications (eg. RealFlow) are still stuck back in 2.4.
We’re partially moved from 2.5.1 to 2.6.1. The extensions we care about all have 2.6 support at this point. Definitely not the case with 3.0, however. We’re not in a huge hurry to make that switch.
One thing to note about 2.5->2.6… if the extension package in question is pure Python (no compiled .pyd or .dll files), you may not ever see a 2.6 dedicated release. The previous 2.x releases often work fine. Depends on the particular extension, of course.
We’re using 2.5 as well, but really would like to move to 2.6 if maya can update.
64bit support in 2.5 for Windows is quite poor (if any) and lots of things just doesn’t work.
3.0 looks pretty good especially when I have to mix Japanese into all other messes.
Also lots of module seems to be getting outdated, move to 3.0 may be a good refresher.
