Python 3 for Scientists

Welcome to the Python 3 for scientists page! The primary aim of this page is to share information about useful new Python 3 features that may be useful to scientists for everyday work, as well as information about things you can do right now to prepare for the Python 3 transition, and how to try Python 3 (without necessarily switching over completely).

These pages are still a work in progress - we welcome any feedback and/or contributions! See the Contributing to these pages section below for more details!
