Yeah, I just didn't want to acquire all of the technical debt of starting a new project in 2.7 when 3 has been out for 5 years now and 2 is effectively in support mode. All new standard library enhancements will be in 3 and I can't imagine people will start many new packages that are 2.x only.
I haven't done much Python web development before, but I have a fair amount of experience with PHP and Ruby, so I found stitching together something useful with Bottle and a number of other packages was pretty low-friction other than porting a half-dozen different packages to Python 3. Unfortunately looking at flask it seemed the work to port it along with jinja2 and werkzeug was too much of a barrier to entry.
- rpicard 13y agoIt's my understanding that Armin Ronacher -- the creator of Flask -- has been making a lot of progress lately on porting to Python 3.[1] I don't think it's ready for production yet, but it's definitely something to keep an eye on. I might make it a point to address it in the book. [1] http://lucumr.pocoo.org/2013/5/21/porting-to-python-3-redux/ http://lucumr.pocoo.org/2013/5/21/porting-to-python-3-redux/
