Transitioning from Python 2 to Python 3¶

With Python version 3, Python developers introduced some incompatible changes and removed some obsolete functionalities. At this time, the Python community is still in the transitional phase from version 2 to version 3.

IronPython does not yet support Python 3, but it is being worked on. As the Python community no longer supports Python 2, we intend to up0grade to Python 3 as soon as it is supported by IronPython. Although we strive for a smooth transition, script writers should take care that their scripts are created in a future-proof style. For example, by using the expression from __future__ import print_function.
