There's no place for a web framework in Python 3 yet because there are no database drivers (except SQLite) and no win32 support. web2py would need these. Most other frameworks use external templating and ORM solutions which will have to be ported over as well for them to work. I've been following various projects on their Python 3 status, the basic thought is: wait until 3.1 and then start working on it.
I'd say web2py would be better served if you would backport this functionality. -tim Jonathan Benn wrote: > Hi all, > > > About 2 months ago we were discussing allowing the IS_URL validator to > validate Unicode URLs.
