Just because it's 3.3 doesn't matter...the main interest is in compatibility. Secondly, you used just one piece of code, which could be a fluke, try others, and check the PEP. You need to realize that evebn the older versions are benig worked on, and they have to be refined. So if you have a problem, use the older and import from the future would be my suggestion On Thu, Jan 2, 2014 at 12:36 PM, Robin Becker <robin@reportlab.com> wrote: > On 31/12/2013 15:41, Roy Smith wrote: > >> I'm using 2.7 in production.
