I feel that the reasons are evident in the release notes that describe the new features in 3.1, 3.2, 3.3... The more interesting question to me is what he thinks of the serious lag in library support for Py3, which I posted below.
I'd like to get your thoughts on Python as it compares to some of the newer developments in programming languages. In the past few years, the hyperactive growth of the web in the mobile space and in so-called "cloud computing" have spurred all kinds of new languages from new upstarts and companies like Google (go, dart); as well as new features in established languages like C#, Java, C++. How do you think the cutting edge of Python will compare to people who might be lured away by those new toys? Or, in an alternate form, is there anything big you want to add to Python that we have seen emerge recently?
My Slashdot brethren: I realize that many of the concepts that are new to the younger generation were actually hashed out back in the 60's, 70's, and 80's. Don't flame me please.
How do you feel about the current state of the migration to Python 3 (Py3k)? From a user perspective it seems that the conversion of popular libraries has lagged far behind, which has impeded the transition. In my professional capacity, nearly every single system I use lacks an installed 3.x interpreter. In fact, 2.7 is a rarity. I'd like to get your thoughts.
I work at a large company that laid off ~400 this week. There was no prior notice given. I have never heard of any such labor law (in my state, at least).
With voided warranty. And that's assuming you can find the replacement parts for your model, which isn't straightforward for anything other than iphones.
I seem to be constantly fighting the battle with battery life, and it is a topic that I am acutely worried about, thanks to the newest generation of phones which seem to have settled on non-replaceable batteries. I found this very interesting. Glad someone took the time to take these measurements and write it up.
It isn't practical to take those steps. All communication companies took part, whether they wanted to or not. What I can do is tell my representatives that they had better get tough on the NSA or lose my vote. And convince as many others as I can to do the same.
I prefer to do it that way. I don't want to be bothered to have to pay bills every month. All I have to do is check in to make sure the appropriate amount is being charged. Is that so hard?
There was a before an after moment in my life, too. I had perfect vision until in 7th grade when suddenly everything started getting blurry. It kept getting worse. I got glasses in high school and I continued to need stronger and stronger prescriptions. It happened when I hit puberty so suddenly it sounded like that silly old legend that "masturbation will make you go blind" was true. As it turns out, vision problems tend to occur in males when they hit puberty. It had nothing to do with my "me" time.
Correlation does not prove causation. By the way, I had all my vaccinations as a baby. I don't have autism. Same with my brother, and every other kid in my school.
I think it's safe to assume from your short post consisting of nothing more than impotent rage that you are an American citizen that is considering leaving the country for good. Let me be the first to say "good riddance"

Gotta be the half-assed initial support for OO. Either that or the print statement :P

Just wanted to say that if Python lacked the functional stuff, I wouldn't it like it nearly as much.

And I'm sure you extend that courtesy to the people you let go... right? Yeah didn't think so.

I knew it sounded familar

No, you're called a bigot because you think the issue is related to the president's racial heritage.

It's up to us to contact our representatives and let them know that they can't just sweep this under the rug like usual. There has to be consequences.
Claremont, NH? I'm not surprised. I curse that God-awful town every time I have to drive through it.
That character would be Fouad.
Actually, no. That isn't true. They never need to know the actual password.

LibreOffice & Apache OpenOffice should just merge in to one open source office suite.
Based on the history of the creation of the LibreOffice project, I think that would never happen.

... could we trust them?
You forget that the PATRIOT Act has lots of support with common Americans. Most of them are scared and ignorant, and they want government protection.
Windows95 was really just a GUI running on top of DOS. Download GNOME and you've got it already!
If they're smart they will simply smirk at the jab and do nothing. It's a small piece of free advertisement.
