Hi everyone. Long time lurker on the web.py list. I use web.py in a lot of projects and Tomas is correct... It's sad to see the project stalling.
Over the next few days I will be working on Python 3 migration and porting the test units. I'm not quite sure who is leading the project but I can volunteer time and effort to push this forward. Looking forward, the same code base cannot service both Python 2 and Python 3 development. So at some point the paths will diverge and we will need to maintain the old series and a new 3 series, with any important bugs back ported.
