Django 1.5 will be the first Django release to officially support Python 3, but it will still support Python 2. We're not going to go cold-turkey on Python 2 -- we'll be supporting Python 2 for a while yet. > I know a couple of large organisations who simply won't consider non-LTS > open source kit. The core team has talked about this sort of approach in the past -- usually in the context of moving to a faster release cycle (e.g., release every three months, but nominate a LTS release every 18 months or so). However, those discussions usually stall on the problem of actually doing a faster release, which historically, we haven't been good at doing. I'd be interested in hearing other opinions about this. Out there in the "real world" (™), how long does Long Term Support have to be in order to be practically useful?
