Hey,

So I was wondering today what you guys would think about the idea to rename 
web2py to Web3py, once it reaches a level of maturity that would be able to 
justify the rename and a reboot.

That would also mean to update the web page and various resources. 

The reason is simple :

It seems that since  around 2016 python 3 has seen a major increase in adoption 
while web2py adoption decreased due to being perceived as python2 only 
framework, which at the time was certainly true.

While it's not true anymore, I think the perception of being a python2 only 
framework combined with outdated resources doesn't help adoption.

While sacrificing the established name is certainly not great, I think the 
benefits of a reboot with a name change to emphasize the python3 compatibility 
would far outweigh any drawback.
Python2 compatibility that is maintained would however seen as a plus and a 
major differentiator to other frameworks that dropped python2 support. 



What do you think?
