Platforms

The following platforms will not be supported in 3.0. Their code (conditional compilation, platform-specific attributes and functions, documentation, etc) will be removed. Skip Montanaro is working on this (and will shout for help when he gets confused).

• RISCOS
• BeOS
• Irix
• Tru64

Is this the right place or is there another page with all py3000 removals of deprecated and obsolete things? (Nestor) This is just by googling the docs.

String module

[remove done] http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.5/lib/module-string.html

• atof -> float

• atol -> int

• capitalize, expandtabs, find, rfind, rfind, index, rindex, count, lower, split, rsplit, splitfields, join, joinfields, lstrip, rstrip, strip, swapcase, translate, upper, ljust, rejust, center, zfill, replace -> methods
