Great one Alex. While searching for web2py and python3 the first result i got was this <https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/31ai10/web2py_python3/>.

And I so want to take those boys and girls on the web2py path, but to ask of those new-to-the-market to invest in a legacy language (2020 is only 4 years from now) is something that feels odd to me. Especially since i know the power and grace of web2py. I know the subject has been debated and debated but for the sake of these students (and these are not the high university kind, but rather the ground-work and getting-stuff-done folks) i would kindly ask to take the future into consideration as well as our marketing because web2py is simply droped out of the equation because of py2. I would love to teach those kids web2py and be future proof. Many schools already teach things from a hundred years ago, let's not do that in IT as well. Thank your for considering.
