@ -88,22 +88,17 @@ The Status of Python 3
----------------------
Currently the Python community is in the process of improving libraries to
support the new iteration of the Python programming language.
Unfortunately there are a few problems with Python 3, namely the missing
consent on what WSGI for Python 3 should look like. These problems are
support the new iteration of the Python programming language. While the
situation is greatly improving there are still some issues that make it
hard for us to switch over to Python 3 just now. These problems are
partially caused by changes in the language that went unreviewed for too
long, also partially the ambitions of everyone involved to drive the WSGI
standard forward.
Because of that we strongly recommend against using Python 3 for web
development of any kind and wait until the WSGI situation is resolved.
You will find a couple of frameworks and web libraries on PyPI that claim
Python 3 support, but this support is based on the broken WSGI
implementation provided by Python 3.0 and 3.1 which will most likely
change in the near future.
long, partially also because we have not quite worked out how the lower
level API should change for the unicode differences in Python3.
Werkzeug and Flask will be ported to Python 3 as soon as a solution for
WSGI is found, and we will provide helpful tips how to upgrade existing
applications to Python 3. Until then, we strongly recommend using Python
2.6 and 2.7 with activated Python 3 warnings during development, as well
as the Unicode literals `__future__` feature.
