How do you tell if a project has been ported to Python 3?
On PyPI each project can specify various trove classifiers (typically in a project'ssetup.py through a classifier
argument to setup()).
There are various classifiers related to what version of Python a project can
run on. E.g.:Programming Language :: Python :: 3
Programming Language :: Python :: 3.0
Programming Language :: Python :: 3.1
Programming Language :: Python :: 3.2
Programming Language :: Python :: 3.3
Programming Language :: Python :: 3.4
Programming Language :: Python :: 3 as that is how you
end up listed on the Python 3 Packages list on PyPI;
you can represent Python 2 support with Programming Language :: Python).The other way is through a manual override in
caniusepython3 itself. Projects ends up on this list because:- They are now part of Python's standard library in some release of Python 3
- Their Python 3 port is under a different name
- They are missing a Python 3 trove classifier but have actually been ported
What if I know of a project that should be added to the overrides file?
If a project has Python 3 support in a release on PyPI but they have not added the proper trove classifier, then either submit a pull request or file an issue with the name of the project and a link to some proof that a release available on PyPI has indeed been ported (e.g. PyPI page stating the support, tox.ini file showing tests being run against Python 3, etc.). Projects that have Python 3 support in their version control system but not yet available on PyPI will not be considered for inclusion in the overrides file.How can I get a project ported to Python 3?
Typically projects which have not switched to Python 3 yet are waiting for:- A dependency to be ported to Python 3
- Someone to volunteer to put in the time and effort to do the port
caniusepython3 will tell you what dependencies are blocking a project
that you depend on from being ported, you can try to port a project farther
down your dependency graph to help a more direct dependency make the transition.Which brings up the second point: volunteering to do a port.
