CCC's Dream Python

Community

• Push harder to get all useful third party libraries/modules fully ported to Python3.
  • Twisted, gevent
• Put Python2 out to pasture so that we can unify and press forward.
• Move to something more modern/powerfuk than tkinter as the bundled UI. Today there are way too many UI options which is stalling innovation.
  • Tkinter, Pygame, PyQt, PySide, PyGObject, PyGtk. kivy, etc.
• Python as one of the top languages used on game development.

Technical

• An easier syntax for bounding a variable between a min and a max. See below.
• Pervasive support for with open() syntax throughout the standard library.
  • e.g. in aifc.py, wave.py, shelve.py, etc.
• Support Python3 in Pythonista so we can hack Python3 on our iPads while on the move.

On bounding a variable between a min and a max

x = -3 |> x <| 5
# would be equal to:
x = max(min(x, 5), -3)

# other approaches
x = -3 | x | 5
# or
x = -3 |>= x <=| 5
