Writing code for Python 2 and 3
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
.. module:: IPython.utils.py3compat
|
|
:synopsis: Python 2 & 3 compatibility helpers
|
|
|
|
|
|
IPython 6 requires Python 3, so our compatibility module
|
|
``IPython.utils.py3compat`` is deprecated and will be removed in a future
|
|
version. In most cases, we recommend you use the `six module
|
|
<https://six.readthedocs.io/>`__ to support compatible code. This is widely
|
|
used by other projects, so it is familiar to many developers and thoroughly
|
|
battle-tested.
|
|
|
|
Our ``py3compat`` module provided some more specific unicode conversions than
|
|
those offered by ``six``. If you want to use these, copy them into your own code
|
|
from IPython 5.x. Do not rely on importing them from IPython, as the module may
|
|
be removed in the future.
