Let's admit it.
Once Django is Py3K-ready, all other projects will follow suit.
- dagw 16y agoIs Django really that big a deal in the python world? I know it is a big deal in the python web world, but the web seems a pretty small part of the python world as a whole. If I where to ask all the python developers I knew to prioritize the projects they want ported to py3, I'd imagine the results being numpy/scipy/matplotlib first followed wxpython or pyqt second followed by PIL and a whole bunch a smaller libraries, with Django getting a "sure I guess" down at the bottom of the list.
- copper 16y agoI don't do webdev, so I fully agree with that :) FWIW, NumPy supports python 3 (for quite a few months now, IIRC), and I imagine that SciPy does too.
- glenjamin 16y agoI would expect NLTK to have a fairly broad user base too, although possibly the community is less likely to be involved in the broader python landscape.
- dagw 16y agoThe thing with Python is it has very long tail of libraries, like NLTK, OpenCV, openopt, Mayavi etc. who's individual communities might not make up significant portion of the python community, but taken together is probably more significant than that of any single high profile project.
- dermatthias 16y agoThere is a poll about p3k compatibility on python.org: http://python.org/3kpoll http://python.org/3kpoll Django on top, followed by wxpython, scipy and mathplotlib.
- kbutler 16y agoAnyone else find it amusing that there aren't quite 3000 votes on the Python 3000 wishlist? Package Number of Votes Django 760 wxPython 423 scipy 366 matplotlib 328 PIL 295 py2exe 243 Twisted 169 PyGTK 157 Pygame 117 web2py 91 ---- 2949 OK, probably just me. kb
- iclelland 16y agoIf this is true, then there's a bit of a circular dependency Django is a pretty high-level project, though, with a lot of other dependencies of its own. I believe that the stated position of the Django core team is that there's no point in porting Django until some (all?) of the core dependencies are functional on Py3k. This, at least means wsgi and the database connectors, and possibly more. So I hope that the rest of the Python community isn't sitting around waiting for Django to take the lead here.
- code_duck 16y agoRight, Django wouldn't do much for me without MySQL-python.
- didip 16y agoI would say, practical implementation of PEP-3333 is more important than Django. Most Python frameworks are stuck because of WSGI vs Python 3 issue.
