So maybe a C extension for python3 would have both C and python 3 as language tags. I suspect that the 109 packages you found are the only ones obf the 4829 which works with python3 (but I hope to be wrong ). Ciao - FB -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Also, of course, they may not be the only ones that work, but merely the only ones where the author has checked they work and tagged the entry. It's quite possible that some packages will work unmodified... Paul. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Not at all. The Trove classifiers *always* mean what the package author wants them to mean. In the specific case of Python :: 3, they should mean what makes most sense. For an application, it might make most sense to specify the language it is written in. For a Python library, it surely would make most sense to specify the Python version it supports - notice, however, that this is *also* the Python version the library is written in.

I suspect that the 109 packages you found are the only ones obf the 4829 which works with python3 (but I hope to be wrong ). There are 523 packages marked with Python :: [2, 2.1, ...] and I hope more than that work with Python 2.x. What I would like to encourages is adding Python :: 3 or a more specific minimum supported version classifier to packages that support Python 3. I wouldn't want to go to the level of adding a classifier for each version of Python supported since a package will often stay valid when a new Python is released.
