Python 2 vs Python 3
If you haven’t been able to get Python 3 working, here are some of the differences that may
affect you throughout the workshop.
Getting user input
Python 3
name = input(“What’s your name?”)
Python 2
name = raw_input(“What’s your name?”)
String formatting
Python 3
print(f"hello {name}")
Python 2
print("hello {}".format(name))
Integer vs. float division
Python 3
1/2 => 0.5
1//2 => 0
Python 2
1/2 => 0
1./2 => 0.5
