I write far more programs for Rosetta Code where I don’t have much legacy issues, except occasionally having to make a program work in both 2.x and 3.x when prompted.

I found a typo

def count(nNum):
“”"This function prints out the numbers from 1 to nNum”"”
x = 1
while x <: nNum :
print x
x = x +1

should be

def count(nNum):
“”"This function prints out the numbers from 1 to nNum”"”
x = 1
while x < nNum :
print x
x = x +1

Checkboxes would work better than ratio buttons, because I use both 2.6 (system default Python) where possible, and 2.5 for apps that are not compatible with 2.6.

I do find it a bit interesting that so many people are still using 2.5 and 2.6, although when I think about it I guess I really shouldn’t given that I’m in the same boat.

Thanks for the answers everyone, and I appreciate everyone who took the time to explain their decisions.

I may change the poll as some suggested to allow people to select more then one versions.

Thanks again!

mark.

Very great tutorial, thanks again!

I really can’t figure out why using width-request and not “Default width” for a window.

Furthermore, the value that we put in width-request is pixels value? It is a delta compared to what (as if we put 0, it is not a null size)? I think this a pure gtk question but I do not find any relevant info about that

Once again, apart from that, all is clear

Still running 2.5 because some std libs caused failures when attempting to run under 2.6 and I haven’t yet taken the time to chase it down.

2.6 is my compromise between “getting the awesome new language features” and “being able to use the full range of packages and tools.” I can’t wait for that compromise boundary to move up into 3.x land.

Probably many people is using more than one version. It would be interesting to look at the results allowing to vote for more than one version in order of use. In my case :
2.6 -> 1st (1 point) main
3.1 -> 2nd (2 points) learning, used when libraries are not needed
2.5 -> 3th (3 points) disappearing from my computers. kept just in case
….

Summing all the votes for each version would give a more clear view of the situation
