The Python 3.0.1 What's New Guide has a good overview of the changes in Python 3.x. That said, beware your claim that "None of my code runs on anything specific to Python 2.6": Python 3.x is not back compatible with Python 2.x, and code written for Python 2.x will generally not work on Python 3.x without work to adapt it. (I'd avoid installing from source, as Lennart suggests, as I'd expect this will require non-trivial fixes to make it work on Cygwin.)Īs noted in the above-linked SuperUser question, there's no need to uninstall Python 2.6 to install Python 3 the two run happily side-by-side. I've written some instructions over on SuperUser which describe in more detail how to do this. This is a collection of Cygwin packages that are not ready for general release on the main Cygwin mirrors, but have been compiled ready to be used on Cygwin. You can install Python3 if you want, using Cygwin Ports. The Python releases page details which versions were released on which date. As others have noted, the version of Python 2.6 that's installed with Cygwin is recent Python release numbers are not linear with respect to time.
