Indeed, it runs on 2.x, I’m just trying to point out the small differences and build up to a near future when large scripts would be translated into 3.0. A 500-line code can be easily changed by using 2to3, you might have 30 or 40 print statements that need to be converted to functions.

It’s worth to note that all the code above runs under Python 2. The differences has been overhyped.

Corrected, pasted from the wrong file and didn’t notice the error. Thanks everyone.

@Steve: not yet, these are very simple examples and I’m planning to do that for more complex things. Thanks for the suggestion.

Your python3 code does not have the brackets its the same as the original code.

It appears you’ve pasted your Python 2 example as your Python 3 solution in error.

You last example has the same print statements.

Code blocks 3 and 4 are exactly the same

Otherwise, good introduction to one of the larger differences between the old and new.

Have you tried running your programs through the 2to3 converter to see whether that might save you some work?
