Is there any progress or at least a timeline when web2py will officially support Python 3?
It's 11 months since the last web2py release and I don't see much activity on github. So this is worrying me a little bit. I have a lot of web2py projects and I'll start a large project in a few months. I know web2py very well and it's a great framework, but at the moment I'm not completely sure if it's a good idea to use it for a new project... best regards, Alex Am Donnerstag, 2.
