ra on Oct 6, 2011 | parent | context | favorite | on: PHP needs to die. What will replace it?

This was a big topic of discussion at PyconAU this year.

Having listened to several Python core developers as well as core developers of some major web frameworks and libraries, I have no doubt that Python 3 will replace Python 2.

I think the key tipping point will be when the major web frameworks support it.

The big one is Django, and the whole port is a mess. There's some minimal work but it's like it hasn't even been started.

The official party line on the delay was the lack of a WSGI spec for P3, but there has already been one for several months now.
