Does anyone know which version of Python will ship with 10.1?  Thanks!

2.6. Its great.

i wouldn't say it is all doom-and-gloom, see
http://docs.python.org/release/3.0.1/library/2to3.html#to3-reference
which will provide most code change requirements.

Hi Paulo,
Likely to be Python 2.7.

What's the latest on this?  Is it 2.6 or 2.7?

Thanks,

ArcMap 10.1 Pre-Release is using 2.7

The final release of 10.1 will include Python 2.7.2.

Definitely 2.7.x, which version of 2.7 will be final I don't know.

Edit: 2.7.2 from David above, straight from the horses mouth, so to speak.

Edit: Question. Why wouldn't it ship with the latest version of Python (2.7.3), since ArcGIS hasn't been officially released yet? Were the differences too minor?

Thanks for the rapid replies.  I just needed the general neighborhood.  2.7.x is close enough for me.

Hi Matthew,

Really just a matter of timing.  Lock-down on ArcGIS 10.1 came before Python 2.7.3 had its final release.
