Re: Django/ Python 3 - nervous about starting large project

If you are writing your code in python 2.6 it will be easy to port it to python 3 later. The backwards incompatible changes introduced in python 3 are not a good reason not to write you web application with django. snfctech wrote: > Hello. > > We are researching technologies to begin what may
