Simon Willison’s Weblog

PortingDjangoTo3k. Martin von Loewis has started assembling a patch. His write-up illustrates some key differences between Python 2.X and Python 3—it looks like Django’s unicode handling is going to require the most work.

  1. That page was written by Martin von Loewis, and only some corrections supplied by Georg Brandl. The patch is on Martin's site. Are you sure you have the attribution right?

  2. Evidently not; I've fixed it now. I was going by the last edit of that wiki page in the absence of author information; with hindsight I should have investigated further before attributing.

  3. Sweet. I was looking for information on this the other day, but was foxed by the different nomenclatures for python 3. I searched for "python 3000" on the Django site, and came up with nothing very useful. I've now tagged the page you linked with the popular names for Py3K so that it's easier to find for people web-searching for the topic of django and Py3K.

    Glad to know someone else is thinking about it.

  4. Since development version of mod_wsgi in subversion repository has already been updated for Python 3.0 and passes basic testing, would be nice to see anyone trying to do stuff with Django on Python 3.0 to also try out the mod_wsgi code base. May help to flesh out additional issues in both Django and mod_wsgi for Python 3.0. :-)
