nose and python 3000
jason pellerin
it would be good to beat the drum a little louder about the py3k
branch and nose's future.
Summary: nose supports py3k! There is a branch in subversion that you
can check out today:
svn co http://python-nose.googlecode.com/svn/branches/py3k nose3
It is a bit in need of a merge-up from trunk (and the pycon sprint
work that hasn't landed in trunk yet), but it passes almost all
non-doctest selftests under 2.6 and 3.0, and I've gotten good feedback
from the few people I know have tried it. Please try it if you have a
python3 project!
The future:
0.11 will be the next release of nose, hopefully landing within a
couple of weeks. 0.11 will not support py3k. Nor will the next
release, which will be 1.0. At that point, the 1.0 series will go into
maintenance mode (and I hope acquire a maintainer other than me), and
new development will focus on the 3 series, which will break backwards
compatibility in a number of ways and will support only python 2.6 and
later, including 3.0 and 3.1. I hope to have the first release of
nose3 out very soon after 1.0.
