web2py for python 3 would be great. I hope it comes rather sooner than later. I'd love to use python 3, no more str <-> unicode nonsense (which already caused many issues and wasted time for me), type hints (seems to have good support in PyCharm) and other new features. I think the current situation could also scare away potential new users when they see that web2py does not support python 3.
pyDAL seems to be already compatible with python 3. Is it not possible to make the remaining parts also compatible or are there completely new concepts planned? I for one would completely remove the FORM code - it's nice and easy to get something up and running but difficult to style (no clear separation of backend/frontend) and extend. I'm using knockout (I guess any data binding js lib will do fine) which is very flexible and easy to understand. That should be the preferred way to do forms and recommended in the book. But that's just my opinion. No more FORM would mean less code to port to python 3 ;) Alex On Wednesday, November 4, 2015 at 4:37:56 PM UTC+1, Ramos wrote: > > @massimo > When will it be available ? > > > 2015-11-04 14:38 GMT+00:00 Massimo Di Pierro <[email protected] > <javascript:>>: > >> There will be a new framework similar to web2py for python 3. web2py has >> to be backward compatible and it is pointless to port it to python 3. >> >> >> On Wednesday, 4 November 2015 06:25:40 UTC-6, Jim Gregory wrote: >>> >>> I know this has come up in the past, but it hasn't been asked in a >>> while. >>> >>> Is there ever going to be a usable and maintained Python3-compatible >>> fork of web2py? >>> >>> The latest edition of Fedora now ships with Python3 by default.
