What are the chances that weppy (www.weppy.org) becomes the Python 3 version of web2py?
I'm working with the newly available, officially supported Python implementation on IBM i (formerly AS/400) and it is Python version 3.4 so web2py isn't an option for me. Is there any news or direction for people forced to use Python 3? I really don't want to give up my web2py knowledge and move to another framework. The other big guns (django, flask, bottle, pyramid) all have Python 3 versions.
