Comment #1 on issue 1506 by pekka.klarck: Python 3 support
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=1506
It is a known limitation that Robot Framework does not support Python 3.
This is due to Python 2 and 3 being incompatible and Robot being developed
for the former.
With some effort it is relatively easy to write Python code that is
compatible with Python 2.7 and 3.3. Supporting also Python 2.6 wouldn't be
that big a task but other releases would be either require lot of extra
work (2.5) or not be worth the effort due to limited installation base
(3.0-3.2).
With Robot Framework the main problem is that the latest stable Jython
release is 2.5.3 and we cannot drop Jython support. Jython 2.7 is under
development, beta1 was released already in Feb 2013, but unfortunately the
development is rather slow. If/when Jython 2.7 is released, or gets at
least to the release candidate phase, dropping support from older releases
is not an issue. People that need to keep using Python 2.5 can also keep on
using older Robot versions.
Another main problem regarding to this issue is that the current core
development team doesn't have resources to look at this during 2013.
