[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGEO projects and Python 3.x

[Landon Blake]

Dave,

I know I had some problems getting Python 3.X to work on my Windows XP
computer a couple of weeks ago. I had no problems with the previous
release of Python.

Hey Folks,

I am wondering what, if any, projects are preparing or planning for a
move to support python 3.x.

Due to it being a major release I understand it does not come with
backwards compatibility, however there are some tools out there to help
with this. and of course there is surely to be lots of hands on
tweaking.

This also raises questions about projects using jython as it just
released Jython 2.5.1 in september of 2009.

If there are projects moving towards this assume there are libraries
that will also have to create bindings and such.

with the Public Address Geocoder project (http://www.pagcgeo.org/) I
just created python bindings for the library. I am wondering if I should
go ahead with python 3.x bindings. Using SWIG this should not be a
challenge. 

so what are people doing with python 3?

Cheers
