Re: python 3.x

May I humbly suggest using IronPython as a first baby step? It has the same syntax as CPython 2.6/2.7, but ALL text strings are in unicode, just like in Python 3.x. 8-bit byte arrays must be declared as such. I suspect that about half of the problems with Python 3 conversion will be in that very

bumping an already old question, is django going to run on python 3.x ? I found a few discussions talking about this, eg. and http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_thread/thread/f8c747a26aa5d8ed/0749bfa67b47c802 and http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers
