Python 3 Usage

[Richard Eng]

I was wondering how many Django users have switched to Python 3. Are the majority of users still on Python 2? I'm looking for rough proportion/percentage.

I also read that Django and Python 3 have some problems or issues. Is there any truth to this?

Thanks.

I've been using Python 3 with Django for about 8 months.  No real problems.  Early on I had to patch a couple of add-ons.

Hi Richard,

Django has fully supported Python 3 for a while now, see this talk:

http://pyvideo.org/video/2242/porting-django-apps-to-python-3-0

Also IMHO it's less a matter of which users use Python 3 (I'd say it's likely most serious Python users mix-and-match on a project-to-project basis, depending on the age of the original code, but use Python 3 where they can).

I'd say it's a case of which hosting servers are running Python 3 at the time of deployment. 

Often the default version of Python supported by hosts is 2.7 or even 2.6, so it's a matter of whether the costs outweigh the benefits of installing and maintaining your own versions of Python 3.

The main problem that I have seen is that there are some plugins that don't support Python 3 (the biggest issue we are having is django-storages and boto). You can of course patch the plugins yourself and contact the authors to make a pull request. Often the difference is not that great.
