Exactly my point. Projects that don't make the transition risk being perceived as legacy and irrelevant. There is real opportunity here for new solutions that embrace the new rather than stoically stay in the old.


What is your point exactly?

Can you provide a single solid reason to upgrade to Python 3 beyond "it's new"? In the real world, the advantages of using Python 3 must outweigh the negatives before I can justify upgrading our systems to it. Currently, all I can see is a minimum of 1 year of downtime while I either:

1) Wait for Django 1.5, and deal with all the bugs resulting from the upgrade, or 2) Move our entire code base out of Django into something else, and deal with all the bugs from, effectively, moving to an untested system.
