Discover clean ways to write code that will run on bothPython2 and 3.This book is tutorial-oriented with detailed examples of how to convert existingPython2-compatible code to code that willrun reliably on bothPython2 and 3. Although Python 3 is considered the future of Python, Python 2.x will be maintained for several more years, alongside Python 3, which is not backwards compatible. For those who need to support both versions, this book guides you through the process. Python 2 and 3 Compatibilityexplains the syntactical differences between Python 2 and 3, and how to usePython packages Python-Future and Six to implementneutral compatibility.Developers working on either small, medium, or large projects will appreciate the author's clear explanations, detailed examples, and clean techniques to help them extend support for both versions to their existing Python 2-compatible projects. What You'll Learn Understand the syntactical differences between Python2 and 3 Use the Six and Future libraries Review the new features in Python3 Choose which Pythonversions to support when doing neutral support Decide on whether to port or provide support for both versions Who This Book Is For ProfessionalPythondevelopers and enthusiasts that want to implement Python 3 support fortheir existingPython2 compatible code.
