Python 3.0 breaks old code (v2.6 is transition python)

[MakerOfGames]

I just read an article on linux.com that gave a warning to python users that a new version 3.0 will be released in the near future and will break old python code. It will do this by changing inconsistencies in the language that have built up over the years. The newest version will alert users of incompatibility issues with the new version. Will this affect RF2's development at all? And if so what impact will it have?

I doubt the C API will change, and if not, only existing scripts will be affected. If it does, when Boost updates to 3.0 we will also. At the moment RF2 works fine with 2.6.

Andy! PLEASE don't change RF2 to Python 3.xx, I can't handle any version of python other than 2.5 or 2.6!

Thanks

We are evaluating whether or not to even use Python at this point. There are performance issues.
