Personally, I'd like to celebrate the upcoming Python 3.2 release (which will hopefully include 3to2) with moving all packages which do not have the 'Programming Language :: Python :: 3' classifier to a "Legacy" section of PyPI and offer only Python 3 packages otherwise. Of course put a banner at the top clearly explaining that Python 2 packages can be found in the Legacy section.
Radical, I know, but at some point we really need to make this move. PyPI really needs a mechanism to cull out the moribund packages from being displayed next to the actively maintained ones. There's so many packages on there that only work on Python 2.2-2.4 (for example), or with a specific highly outdated version of another package, etc. On Mon, Jun 21, 2010 at 11:13 AM, Stephan Richter <stephan.rich...@gmail.com > wrote: > On Monday, June 21, 2010, Nick Coghlan wrote: > > A decent listing of major packages that already support Python 3 would > > be very handy for the new Python2orPython3 page I created on the wiki, > > and easier to keep up-to-date.
