I was also considering applying for as a GSoC student to Django this summer, but I see that the "Python 3 porting" project has been removed from the new list. Is there a reason for this? I'm really interested in this project and Django does not yet support Python 3 (at least 1.4 doesn't). It's a bit hard to find information about the current state of support, as there have been many efforts over the years, but as far as I gather, the latest work was mentioned in this thread [1]. Last year, as a GSoC student I worked on porting SymPy [2] to Python 3, which I completed successfully (though there hasn't yet been a release with Python 3 support); you can read my blog about it here[3]. As such, I feel I have sufficient experience to do the same with Django -- SymPy is a similarly sized project, using many of the more advanced Python constructs. If someone could confirm that porting to python 3 is a possible project for this year, I will write a more detailed introductory post about my experiences and ideas. Thank you, [1] http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_thread/thread/abede3685ad0302/573c1e0ff35e1ab7 [2] SymPy is a library for symbolic mathematics written in Python: http://sympy.org/en/index.html [3] http://vperic.blogspot.com/ > > Yours, > Russ Magee %-) > > On 07/03/2012, at 5:03 PM, Kushagra Sinha wrote: > > > Thanks a lot for the reply. > > > On Wed, Mar 7, 2012 at 5:02 AM, Russell Keith-Magee > > <russ...@keith-magee.com> wrote: > > > On 07/03/2012, at 5:35 AM, Kushagra Sinha wrote: > > > > Are there plans for Django participating in this year's Google Summer of > > > Code.
