Python 3.0 Released Stronger


Programming language Python 3.0 has now been present. A founder of this project, Python, Guido van Rossum, Python version 3.0, revealing the compatibility has been open, more focused on the improvement in detail and the elimination of the codes that have expired. "Python language version is the same as before, but many details, such as how to build objects, including dictionary, and ways of working string, has been changed, and many features have been removed bad. In addition, the library has also organized a standard return in some places. "Rossum said.

Python, beginning from the letter 'P', such as PHP and Perl, the same software running on LAMP, the representative of Linux, Apache and MySQL, which is used in many Web 2.0 Companies such as YouTube, Flickr, Digg, and deli.cio . us architecture as open source.
