Werkzeug Python 3 notes

gistfile1.md

This document is obsolete, all the docs for porting are now at https://github.com/mitsuhiko/pocoo-sprint-18052013

@chitrank Updated gist, is supposed to support both 2 and 3 in the same codebase.

@mangecoeur Right now we're working on urls.py, but feel free to submit pull requests for anything that has failing tests, needs stricter tests (in your opinion) or is still completely untouched.

We don't have a real timeline atm, but i personally hope we'll get much more focus on the goals with the hackathon.

@unitaker Have you used six module for porting. I am working on Moin2 porting to Python 3.x and using module six but at some cases I doubt module six because some cases can be easily handled by simple try and except.

We do see that we need to use only some lines of code rather than using try except. So does porting cannonically makes any substantial difference.

Six is definitely required if you want to support Python 2.5 but from 2.6 or later there really is not much of a reason to use six
