Python2 Vs Python3 Differences

The document outlines key differences between Python 2 and Python 3, highlighting changes in features such as print statements, integer division, Unicode support, error handling, range functions, and input functions. Notably, Python 3 treats print as a function, returns floats for integer division, and has improved Unicode support. Additionally, Python 3 simplifies error handling and modifies the behavior of range and input functions.

Error Handling Uses comma syntax: Uses 'as' keyword:
