Hello.
I suggest to make, when there will be a time, a Python 3 version of Pelican.
Now it's installed into "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages" (or the
same, but "site-packages").
Reasons:
- Python 3 is the current branch of Python, using Python 2 has no
benefits before 3;
- When writing custom building scripts, sometimes it's useful to import
configuration / Pelican modules.
To avoid possible problems, it would be better to use that version of
python, on which they're written.
(for example, by default, python2's dist-packages are not found by
pyhon3, or errors with code )
- User could install Python 3 version via "sudo pip3 install pelican",
pelican module and it's dependencies will be installed into
"/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages", "pelican" and "pelican-quickstart"
scripts will be located in "/usr/local/bin", all will work, but
it can give errors to apt \ pip, when somebody will remove other's
package.
Maybe it would be better to remove Python 2 Pelican package, I don't
know. Anyway, all new projects is recommended to
start with Python 3, so I don't see many reasons to keep Python 2
version of pelican.
Just for current his users, who wrote custom scripts, which use it.
Best regards,
Vladislav.
