    Details

    • Type: Improvement
    • Status: Resolved
    • Priority: Major
    • Resolution: Fixed
    • Affects Version/s: 2.1.1221
    • Fix Version/s: 4.0.0
    • Component/s: Framework

      Description

      In a not so far future, if there is not constraint from one big customer, we could try an upgrade to Python 3.

      1. we could use pathlib to handle all sorts of paths (long names, networks folders, etc.)
      2. no more unicode/str issues to manage
      3. Python 3.6 use UTF-8 on all platforms
      4. less code to write (need refactoring several components of course)
      5. Python 3 spend (a little) more time to start than Python 2 but is way faster at the runtime
      6. I did not study the Windows packaging, but from 3.5 there is an embeddable version that is less than 12 Mo, uncompressed

      I forgot other advantages, but we need to think in term of stability and customer happyness, it is time to evolve
