Hi,

I usually works with packages like pyserial, numpy, mathplotlib,pyUSB, etc..

When is planned that these packages are supported in Python 3.0?

Seen this i would say that is not recommendable to use Python 3.0 at the
moment? most of 2.6 packages are not available, not working in python 3.0.

Thanks,
Bye,

That would depend on the individual packages and their maintainers.
Check their respective websites. There is not, as of yet, any
concerted/coordinated effort to port third-party libraries to 3.0.

Yes, that's basically the state of things at the moment. We're in a
transitional phase while people port everything to Python 3.0 and/or
wait for the libraries they require to be ported to 3.0.

Cheers,

That is more likely to happen after 3.1 final is released in a month or
less.

If you need the packages, then 3.0 is not for you.

I expect people to port directly to 3.1 and not worry about whether
there are minor incompatibilities with 3.0.
