Freaking awesome. I have been watching the Python community slowly move to Python 3 and to be honest it seems like the smoothest and most well planned transition I've gone through.
Really early on they said Python 3 would break backward compatibility. Normally I'd bitch and moan but they gave us plenty of time and knew it would be a slow process.
Hopefully everyone will move to python 3 soon and we can just leave 2.x cleanly.
- Sami_Lehtinen 15y agoWay cool. Hopefully this also means that more hosters start supporting python 3.X. It's hard to find python hosting and even harder to find python 3.X hosting. Often VPS has been the only practical solution.
- arvinjoar 15y agoI use WebFaction. I know that there's a stigma against shared hosting, but WebFaction has worked really well for my purposes so far. They have many versions of python available and it just seems like they've been dogfooding or something (they might just be good when it comes to taking in feedback) of that nature, because it feels like they've covered all the bases. If anyone sees this and wants to give them a try, add "?affiliate=arvinja" to the URL and I will get a bit of money for it. :)
- inovica 15y agoJust had a quick look and they seem to be very Python oriented. As a bit of play space I might sign up with them. Thanks for the link
- Hovertruck 15y agoFor what it's worth, I've been using Webfaction for years now and while there have been a few snags here and there, they're very reliable and have great support.
