Hi,
As of earlier today, pgweb is now fully running using Python 3. Many
thanks to Magnus for his lead on this project and for the huge effort he
put in to ensure the code became Python 3 compatible.
As such, pgweb is dropping support for Python 2.
There are a few things to note for ongoing development.
1. All new patches to pgweb involving Python must be written in Python 3.
2. We will be enforcing the PEP8[1] style guide on all new Python code.
We have included a pre-commit git hook[2] that you can add to your local
repository to test for PEP8 style.
3. You will need to update your libraries for your Python 3 environment.
If you have a Python 2 virtualenv, you will need to remove it and
install one with Python 3. This can be done as such:
python3 -m venv /path/to/your/local/pgweb/external
Once you activate the virtualenv, you can reinstall the dependencies with:
pip install -r /path/to/your/local/pgweb/requirements.txt
which have been brought up-to-date.
4. If you have been developing a patch, please rebase against the
current HEAD and ensure it works for Python 3 and follows PEP8.
Thanks!
Jonathan
