Python 3 Support |
|
================ |
|
|
|
Flask, its dependencies, and most Flask extensions support Python 3. |
|
You should start using Python 3 for your next project, |
|
but there are a few things to be aware of. |
|
|
|
You need to use Python 3.3 or higher. 3.2 and older are *not* supported. |
|
|
|
You should use the latest versions of all Flask-related packages. |
|
Flask 0.10 and Werkzeug 0.9 were the first versions to introduce Python 3 support. |
|
|
|
Python 3 changed how unicode and bytes are handled, which complicates how low |
|
level code handles HTTP data. This mainly affects WSGI middleware interacting |
|
with the WSGI ``environ`` data. Werkzeug wraps that information in high-level |
|
helpers, so encoding issues should not affect you. |
|
|
|
The majority of the upgrade work is in the lower-level libraries like |
|
Flask and Werkzeug, not the high-level application code. |
|
For example, all of the examples in the Flask repository work on both Python 2 and 3 |
|
and did not require a single line of code changed.
