Port to python3 -- python2 going EOL on Jan, 2020 #6902

Open dpaleino opened 4 years ago

dpaleino commented 4 years ago

Hello,

Pootle should really be ported to python3, as python2 is going to not be supported anymore in 4 months' time, on January 2020.

I've read the wiki, and saw there were some plans -- is there any progress on this?

Thank you for everything you've done! David

For the beginning we should choose one option. Is there any feedback if somebody can't update the python version? Anyways here are some good starting points: https://docs.python.org/3/howto/pyporting.html https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-port-python-2-code-to-python-3

In 2020 the support could be dropped for django 1.11. So we should also update the django version. Django 2 and 3 only runs with python3 which makes a python2 support lapsed: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/3.0/

What is the reason for all the unmerged PRs?

It will be horrible to merge them after the rewrite to python3!

Hi all. What's the update on Python3 upgrade plan? Maybe for a start, we can use 2to3 to switch to Python3.
