== Summary ==
Migration from Python 2 to Python 3, while continuing to support Python 2 where possible.
== Owner ==
* Name: [[User:Quozl|James Cameron]]
* Email: quozl@laptop.org
== Current status ==
* Targeted release: 0.115
* Last updated: 2019-08-29
* Percentage of completion: 10%
== Detailed Description ==
Port to Python 3 via the Six environment.
Security updates and upstream support for Python 2 are due to be withdrawn, and this will prevent running Sugar on Linux.
Downstream distributions are removing Python 2 packages.
== Benefit to Sugar ==
Benefit to the platform is continued availability. Activities will have access to Python 3 language features. Systems with Python 2 available will continue to run Python 2 activities.
== Scope ==
Components to be changed include datastore (carquinyol), toolkit (sugar3), gwebsockets, artwork, shell (jarabe), and Sucrose activities.
Specific changes are tracked at https://github.com/orgs/sugarlabs/projects/1
==UI Design==
No UI impact.
== How To Test ==
https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/blob/master/docs/development-environment.md#native-sugar
== User Experience ==
Systems without Python 2 available will have a severe reduction in available activities.
== Dependencies ==
None.
== Contingency Plan ==
None. Sugar will be in jeopardy.
== Documentation ==
https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-docs/blob/master/src/python-porting-guide.md
== Release Notes ==
Sugar is ported to Python 3.
== Comments and Discussion ==
* No coordinated mailing list discussion has occurred.
* See [[{{TALKPAGENAME}}|the discussion tab for this feature.]]
