Django is the lagging project, actually. Most smaller projects have already bitten the bullet.
At my last Django meetup, we did a show of hands of who was waiting for Django to move before personally switching over to Python 3, and it was basically everyone.
- wahnfrieden 14y agoWe'll see, there are surely dependencies that people simply haven't looked into because of Django's prominent lack of support.
- StavrosK 14y agoYep, now people will be waiting for "that Django library that doesn't work with Python 3". Hopefully those are much fewer. I'll start experimenting with 3 when 1.5 us released, I hear it's the default on ubuntu 12.10, but I might be wrong (I should check).
- takluyver 14y agoIt's installed by default in 12.10, alongside Python 2.7. Eventually, only Python 3 will be in a default installation, but it will still use the command 'python3'.
- ehutch79 14y agoalso, PIL, and mysql bindings.
- dangoldin 14y agoI'm hopeful that these will be updated around the same time or moving to Python 3 won't be an option for most people. I suspect most Django apps are based on MySQL.
- emidln 14y agoMost that I've encountered have been PostgreSQL or MySQL. I've seen a few sqlite3 and oracle backed sites in the wild as well. I think I've seen more redis and more mongo sites than I've seen firebird.
- mariuz 14y agoyou can use the pure python Firebird driver , is python 3.x ready http://www.firebirdnews.org/?p=7803 http://www.firebirdnews.org/?p=7803
- pydanny 14y agoPIL is the dependency that eclipses and has eclipsed Django in the trouble it causes with getting everyone to Python 3.
- ehutch79 14y agoit's clear people really need an alternate of some sort. The fact that pillow[1] this exists proves this. [1] http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pillow/ http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pillow/
