(original) (raw)
I would suggest that if packages that do not have Python 3 support yet are listed, then their alternatives should also.
PyQt has had Py3 support for some time.
PostgreSQL and SQLite do (as does SQLAlchemy)
CherryPy has had Py3 support for the last release cycle
libxml2 does not, but lxml does.
Also, under where it mentions that most OS's do not include Python 3, it should be noted which have good support for it. Gentoo (for example) has excellent support for Python 3, automatically installing Python packages which have Py3 support for both Py2 and Py3, and the python-based Portage package system runs cleanly on Py2.6, Py3.1 and Py3.2.
Give credit where credit is due. :-)

I hope you don't mind, but I actually borrowed your text to seed a
corresponding page on the Python wiki:
http://wiki.python.org/moin/Python2orPython3
It turns out the beginner's guide on the wiki doesn't even acknowledge
the possibility of downloading Python 3.1 rather than 2.6 to start
experimenting with Python.
The Wiki is probably a good place for this kind of material, anyway -
it makes it much easier for people to update as they identify major
third party libraries that do and don't have Py3k compatible versions
(and, some day, Python2 compatible versions).
Cheers,
Nick.
P.S. (We're going to have a tough decision to make somewhere along the
line where docs.python.org is concerned, too - when do we flick the
switch and make a 3.x version of the docs the default? We probably
won't need to seriously consider that question until the 3.3\. time
frame though).
