Hey Pierre, long time no talk! Is there any roadmap for supporting
python 3.x?

Hi Delaney,

Nice talking to you again !

I took some time to learn Python 3.0 and as an exercise I tried to
adapt another program (a simplified version of Karrigell), but I had
to give up because unfortunately the CGI module was bugged (a problem
with POST request management). It's a pity indeed, I really like the
changes introduced in version 3

I'm sticking to version 2.x for the moment and have no plan to adapt
buzhug or my other programs in the near future. Anyway I'm afraid that
I won't be able to support 2 versions at the same time, and the day I
move to 3.x I will not maintain versions for 2.y anymore

Best wishes,
Pierre

It seems that compiling module with Cython enhance performances and allows to use shared library with Python 3... why not ?

Actually, as long as the minimum supported Python version is 2.6, it is easy to support both Python 2 and 3 in a single codebase, using a module called six:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/six

My own projects are using this approach, as well as many others, such as the Pyramid web framework.

So there is really no need to do a "big update" and suddenly stop supporting Python 2.6 and 2.7.

I would also like to add that the features in Python 3.3 make it very interesting, and next Ubuntu desktop version is going to use Python 3.3 by default.

Hi,

I tried to adapt buzhug to Python 3 a few months ago but it was more difficult than I thought (mostly because of the bytes/unicode changes). Anyway, buzhug was an alternative when Python wasn't shipped with a database engine, but with the inclusion of SQLite in the standard distribution of Python 3 its interest becomes limited

I think it's still interesting as it's very pythonic and very intuitive to use and learn
I'm really looking forward to see buzhug support for python 3

Hi,

a long time since last comment but I wonder if you changed your mind about supporting python 3.x?
I love buzhug for its pythonic way of interactions and would love to see an updated version of it.

Cheers
Tristan

I have given up the development of buzhug ; as I said in my previous post, I don't think Buzhug is relevant now that SQlite is available, and I don't use it anymore

PyDbLite, my other Python database project, is adapted to Python 3

Of course, this is Open Source, so if someone wants to work on a Python 3 port, welcome !

I took a look at PyDbLite and I would like it if you could enumerate some of the advantages of PyDbLite over the built-in Python database interface.  I really do not ever want to see sql again :-)
