I am trying to make my modules also work under Python 3. I found that
str is more precise in Python 3. The expression:
str(134 / 6.0)
gives in 2.7.8:
'22.3333333333'
and in 3.4.1:
'22.333333333333332'
Was not very hard to solve:
if python_version == 3:
output06[5] = '22.333333333333332'
output10[5] = '23.333333333333332'
output10[8] = '24.77777777777778'
Earlier I did:
import sys
# For when the difference between 2 and 3 is important
python_version = sys.version_info[0]
At the moment I use it only once, but it is never bad to be prepared.
