I have a Pylons application using LDAP that I'm porting to Pyramid, and would like to run it on Python 3 when all the dependencies are compatible. Pyramid, SQLAlchemy, and Mako all run on Python 3; that's the most common "core suite" people use. Additional libraries are on a one-works-and-another-doesn't basis. I ported one application to Pyramid and parallel-tested it on Python 2 and 3 and it works on both. A second application I did the same thing but ran into an incompatibility on Fanstatic's "which" dependency. That's supposedly been resolved now but my app is already in production on Python 2, so I haven't retested it on 3 yet. My current application will need LDAP as I said, so I may have to leave it at Python 2 if python_ldap is lagging, or write a python_ldap wrapper that delegates to a subprocess. Others in my organization want a Python 3 version of Numpy, which is also taking a while. But that's what you get with volunteer-run software. Somebody has to be sufficiently motivated to do large difficult things, or get paid to do so. > I think it's important for Pyramid to come with many "batteries included" > like LDAP authentication in order to be a compelling alternative to Django > or node.js Is Django using python_ldap or something else? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
