I also have to work with unicode all the time. While it's true that
python3 deals better with this issue, there is no way that web2py can
move to python3 and our current code keeps working, precisely because of
this issue. Our code has lots of .encode('utf8'), .decode('utf8'),
unicode(...), etc. We would have to migrate our apps to python3.So a new framework that is based on the same ideas and part of the existing code, as Massimo have said explicitely, is the only possible strategy. But while we do the necessary porting of our code to python3, we will also get other benefits in the deal. python3 being non-backwards compatible forces a non-backwards compatible version of web2py.

Only if you constantly deal with non-ascii characters you really feel the pain of python2. e.g. ajax request with user input, use string for mail.send or T(..).format(..) -> unicode error. Basically I have to test all user string input if it is unicode and convert to str > > Alex > -- > Resources: > - http://web2py.com > - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) > - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) > - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) > --- > You received this message because you are subscribed to a topic in the Google Groups "web2py-users" group. > To unsubscribe from this topic, visit https://groups.google.com/d/topic/web2py/UKcWKU66qnA/unsubscribe. > To unsubscribe from this group and all its topics, send an email to web2py+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com <mailto:web2py+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com>. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
