Python 2.5

07 Apr 2006 · #techtalk

Python 2.5 has reached alpha release stage now. Here’s a list of new features that I am looking forward to in this edition of Python.

• Unified try/except/finally. Finally!
• ElementTree and sqlite3 in standard library!
• Two way generators
• New built-ins any() and all()
• The with statement looks useful
• The new syntax for one line conditional expressions looks nice
