Django is not the only killer app for Python. In fact I would argue that scientific computing (numpy, scipy, pandas and friends) is no less, and in fact, may be more of a factor in transitioning to Python 3.
- toyg 15y agoMany of those have moved already.
- dgallagher 15y agoAfter Django gets ported, the only thing keeping me from jumping to Python 3 is PIL. PIL has indicated that a 3.x-compatible version is in the works: http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/ http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/
- briancurtin 15y agoThe page has mentioned that for quite some time now, but I haven't heard of any actual effort on that front. Does anyone know if there's progress there?
- peterhunt 15y agoDon't know, but see: http://hg.effbot.org/pil-2009-raclette http://hg.effbot.org/pil-2009-raclette
- gnarbarian 15y agoYou hit the nail on the head for me. Those are exactly the three packages I need before I can migrate.
- toyg 15y agoGo back and check, they're all running on 3 already. Have a good migration :)
- gnarbarian 15y agoOops I spoke too soon. I still need panda3d.
- yuvadam 15y agonumpy and scipy are already Py3K-compliant. matplotlib is the odd one in the scientific community.
- briancurtin 15y agoI was going to link to https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib-py3 https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib-py3, but as of four days ago the 3.x branch was merged into the main repo: https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib.
- wesm 15y agopandas, numpy, and scipy all run on Python 3 now
- mynegation 15y agoYes, sorry, I should have been more clear: there are communities (django developers or scientists or ...) whose buy-in of Python3 is crucial for its success. If they do not move to Python 3 it can just as well pack things now.
