Porting From Python 2 To Python 3

Tips and Techniques for a Smooth Transition

What you'll learn

Learn how to make a smooth transition from Python 2 to Python 3

Requirements

This course is designed for users that already have Python programming experience

Description

In this Porting from Python 2 to Python 3 training course, expert author Ben Straub teaches you about the changes with Python 3, and how to make a smooth transition from Python 2 to Python 3. This course is designed for users that already have Python programming experience.You will start by learning about numbers and strings. From there, Ben teaches you about exceptions, such as raising and catching, and tracebacks and chaining. This video tutorial also covers classes, IO, and library. Finally, you will learn other language changes, such as print, imports and reload, ranges, and functional operators. Once you have completed this computer based training course, you will have learned all about Python 3 changes, and how to make a smooth transition from Python 2 to Python 3.
