Lennart Regebro sent me a copy of his Porting to Python 3 following
PyCon 2011, and now that work on my own book is nearly complete I was
finally able to sit down and study it. I have two major Python 3
porting projects ahead of me soon, and I hoped that Lennart's book
would guide those projects. I was not disappointed.
Quick Review
Inspired by Gene Ambaum and Bill Barnes' review short-cuts, here's my
review for the impatient reader:
Why I picked it up: I am preparing to port PyMOTW to Python 3 and
we are starting to study what it would take to make the switch at
work, too.
Why I finished it: At a computationally pleasing 128 pages, the
book gets right to the point, without a lot of fluff and filler.
I'd give it to: Developers with enough Python 2 code that porting
to version 3 is going to be a major project. Programmers who want to
support both 2 and 3 at the same time will also find helpful
information.
