What Python version should I use with Django?
=============================================
As of Django 1.6, Python 3 support is considered stable and you can safely use
it in production. See also :doc:`/topics/python3`. However, the community is
still in the process of migrating third-party packages and applications to
Python 3.
If you're starting a new project, and the dependencies you plan to use work on
Python 3, you should use Python 3. If they don't, consider contributing to the
porting efforts, or stick to Python 2.
Python 3 is recommended. Django 1.11 is the last version to support Python 2.7.
Support for Python 2.7 and Django 1.11 ends in 2020.
Since newer versions of Python are often faster, have more features, and are
better supported, all else being equal, we recommend that you use the latest
2.x.y or 3.x.y release.
better supported, the latest version of Python 3 is recommended.
You don't lose anything in Django by using an older release, but you don't take
advantage of the improvements and optimizations in newer Python releases.

Python 2's :mod:`csv` module does not support Unicode input. Since Django
uses Unicode internally this means strings read from sources such as
:class:`~django.http.HttpRequest` are potentially problematic. There are a
few options for handling this:
* Manually encode all Unicode objects to a compatible encoding.
* Use the ``UnicodeWriter`` class provided in the `csv module's examples

* Use the `python-unicodecsv module`_, which aims to be a drop-in
replacement for :mod:`csv` that gracefully handles Unicode.
For more information, see the Python documentation of the :mod:`csv` module.

@ -48,29 +48,7 @@ General string handling
Whenever you use strings with Django -- e.g., in database lookups, template
rendering or anywhere else -- you have two choices for encoding those strings.
You can use Unicode strings, or you can use normal strings (sometimes called
"bytestrings") that are encoded using UTF-8.
In Python 3, the logic is reversed, that is normal strings are Unicode, and
when you want to specifically create a bytestring, you have to prefix the
string with a 'b'. As we are doing in Django code from version 1.5,
we recommend that you import ``unicode_literals`` from the __future__ library
in your code. Then, when you specifically want to create a bytestring literal,
prefix the string with 'b'.
Python 2 legacy::
my_string = "This is a bytestring"
my_unicode = u"This is an Unicode string"
Python 2 with unicode literals or Python 3::
from __future__ import unicode_literals
my_string = b"This is a bytestring"
my_unicode = "This is an Unicode string"
See also :doc:`Python 3 compatibility </topics/python3>`.
You can use normal Unicode strings or bytestrings (starting with a 'b').

===================
Porting to Python 3
===================
Django 1.5 is the first version of Django to support Python 3. The same code
runs both on Python 2 (≥ 2.6.5) and Python 3 (≥ 3.2), thanks to the six_
compatibility layer.
.. _six: https://pythonhosted.org/six/
This document is primarily targeted at authors of pluggable applications
who want to support both Python 2 and 3. It also describes guidelines that
apply to Django's code.
Philosophy
==========
This document assumes that you are familiar with the changes between Python 2
and Python 3. If you aren't, read :ref:`Python's official porting guide
<pyporting-howto>` first. Refreshing your knowledge of unicode handling on
Python 2 and 3 will help; the `Pragmatic Unicode`_ presentation is a good
resource.
Django uses the *Python 2/3 Compatible Source* strategy. Of course, you're
free to chose another strategy for your own code, especially if you don't need
to stay compatible with Python 2. But authors of pluggable applications are
encouraged to use the same porting strategy as Django itself.
Writing compatible code is much easier if you target Python ≥ 2.6. Django 1.5
introduces compatibility tools such as :mod:`django.utils.six`, which is a
customized version of the :mod:`six module <six>`. For convenience,
forwards-compatible aliases were introduced in Django 1.4.2. If your
application takes advantage of these tools, it will require Django ≥ 1.4.2.
Obviously, writing compatible source code adds some overhead, and that can
cause frustration. Django's developers have found that attempting to write
Python 3 code that's compatible with Python 2 is much more rewarding than the
opposite. Not only does that make your code more future-proof, but Python 3's
advantages (like the saner string handling) start shining quickly. Dealing
with Python 2 becomes a backwards compatibility requirement, and we as
developers are used to dealing with such constraints.
Porting tools provided by Django are inspired by this philosophy, and it's
reflected throughout this guide.
.. _Pragmatic Unicode: http://nedbatchelder.com/text/unipain.html
Porting tips
============
Unicode literals
----------------
This step consists in:
- Adding ``from __future__ import unicode_literals`` at the top of your Python
modules -- it's best to put it in each and every module, otherwise you'll
keep checking the top of your files to see which mode is in effect;
- Removing the ``u`` prefix before unicode strings;
- Adding a ``b`` prefix before bytestrings.
Performing these changes systematically guarantees backwards compatibility.
However, Django applications generally don't need bytestrings, since Django
only exposes unicode interfaces to the programmer. Python 3 discourages using
bytestrings, except for binary data or byte-oriented interfaces. Python 2
makes bytestrings and unicode strings effectively interchangeable, as long as
they only contain ASCII data. Take advantage of this to use unicode strings
wherever possible and avoid the ``b`` prefixes.
.. note::
Python 2's ``u`` prefix is a syntax error in Python 3.2 but it will be
allowed again in Python 3.3 thanks to :pep:`414`. Thus, this
transformation is optional if you target Python ≥ 3.3. It's still
recommended, per the "write Python 3 code" philosophy.
String handling
---------------
Python 2's `unicode`_ type was renamed :class:`str` in Python 3,
``str()`` was renamed :class:`bytes`, and `basestring`_ disappeared.
six_ provides :ref:`tools <string-handling-with-six>` to deal with these
changes.
Django also contains several string related classes and functions in the
:mod:`django.utils.encoding` and :mod:`django.utils.safestring` modules. Their
names used the words ``str``, which doesn't mean the same thing in Python 2
and Python 3, and ``unicode``, which doesn't exist in Python 3. In order to
avoid ambiguity and confusion these concepts were renamed ``bytes`` and
``text``.
Here are the name changes in :mod:`django.utils.encoding`:
================== ==================
Old name New name
================== ==================
``smart_str`` ``smart_bytes``
``smart_unicode`` ``smart_text``
``force_unicode`` ``force_text``
================== ==================
For backwards compatibility, the old names still work on Python 2. Under
Python 3, ``smart_str`` is an alias for ``smart_text``.
For forwards compatibility, the new names work as of Django 1.4.2.
.. note::
:mod:`django.utils.encoding` was deeply refactored in Django 1.5 to
provide a more consistent API. Check its documentation for more
information.
:mod:`django.utils.safestring` is mostly used via the
:func:`~django.utils.safestring.mark_safe` function, which didn't change. In
case you're using the internals, here are the name changes:
================== ==================
Old name New name
================== ==================
``SafeString`` ``SafeBytes``
``SafeUnicode`` ``SafeText``
================== ==================
For backwards compatibility, the old names still work on Python 2. On Python 3,
``SafeString`` is an alias for ``SafeText``.
For forwards compatibility, the new names work as of Django 1.4.2.
``__str__()`` and ``__unicode__()`` methods
-------------------------------------------
In Python 2, the object model specifies :meth:`~object.__str__` and
` __unicode__()`_ methods. If these methods exist, they must return
``str`` (bytes) and ``unicode`` (text) respectively.
The ``print`` statement and the :class:`str` built-in call
:meth:`~object.__str__` to determine the human-readable representation of an
object. The ``unicode`` built-in calls ` __unicode__()`_ if it
exists, and otherwise falls back to :meth:`~object.__str__` and decodes the
result with the system encoding. Conversely, the
:class:`~django.db.models.Model` base class automatically derives
:meth:`~object.__str__` from ` __unicode__()`_ by encoding to UTF-8.
In Python 3, there's simply :meth:`~object.__str__`, which must return ``str``
(text).
(It is also possible to define :meth:`~object.__bytes__`, but Django applications
have little use for that method, because they hardly ever deal with ``bytes``.)
Finally, note that :meth:`~object.__repr__` must return a ``str`` on all
versions of Python.
:class:`dict` and :class:`dict`-like classes
--------------------------------------------
:meth:`dict.keys`, :meth:`dict.items` and :meth:`dict.values` return lists in
Python 2 and iterators in Python 3. :class:`~django.http.QueryDict` and the
:class:`dict`-like classes defined in ``django.utils.datastructures``
behave likewise in Python 3.
six_ provides compatibility functions to work around this change:
:func:`~six.iterkeys`, :func:`~six.iteritems`, and :func:`~six.itervalues`.
It also contains an undocumented ``iterlists`` function that works well for
``django.utils.datastructures.MultiValueDict`` and its subclasses.
:class:`~django.http.HttpRequest` and :class:`~django.http.HttpResponse` objects
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
According to :pep:`3333`:
- headers are always ``str`` objects,
- input and output streams are always ``bytes`` objects.
Specifically, :attr:`HttpResponse.content <django.http.HttpResponse.content>`
contains ``bytes``, which may become an issue if you compare it with a
``str`` in your tests. The preferred solution is to rely on
:meth:`~django.test.SimpleTestCase.assertContains` and
:meth:`~django.test.SimpleTestCase.assertNotContains`. These methods accept a
response and a unicode string as arguments.
Coding guidelines
=================
The following guidelines are enforced in Django's source code. They're also
recommended for third-party applications that follow the same porting strategy.
Syntax requirements
-------------------
Unicode
~~~~~~~
In Python 3, all strings are considered Unicode by default. The ``unicode``
type from Python 2 is called ``str`` in Python 3, and ``str`` becomes
``bytes``.
You mustn't use the ``u`` prefix before a unicode string literal because it's
a syntax error in Python 3.2. You must prefix byte strings with ``b``.
In order to enable the same behavior in Python 2, every module must import
``unicode_literals`` from ``__future__``::
from __future__ import unicode_literals
my_string = "This is an unicode literal"
my_bytestring = b"This is a bytestring"
If you need a byte string literal under Python 2 and a unicode string literal
under Python 3, use the :class:`str` builtin::
str('my string')
In Python 3, there aren't any automatic conversions between ``str`` and
``bytes``, and the :mod:`codecs` module became more strict. :meth:`str.encode`
always returns ``bytes``, and ``bytes.decode`` always returns ``str``. As a
consequence, the following pattern is sometimes necessary::
value = value.encode('ascii', 'ignore').decode('ascii')
Be cautious if you have to `index bytestrings`_.
.. _index bytestrings: https://docs.python.org/3/howto/pyporting.html#text-versus-binary-data
Exceptions
~~~~~~~~~~
When you capture exceptions, use the ``as`` keyword::
try:
...
except MyException as exc:
...
This older syntax was removed in Python 3::
try:
...
except MyException, exc: # Don't do that!
...
The syntax to reraise an exception with a different traceback also changed.
Use :func:`six.reraise`.
Magic methods
-------------
Use the patterns below to handle magic methods renamed in Python 3.
Iterators
~~~~~~~~~
::
class MyIterator(six.Iterator):
def __iter__(self):
return self # implement some logic here
def __next__(self):
raise StopIteration # implement some logic here
Boolean evaluation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
::
class MyBoolean(object):
def __bool__(self):
return True # implement some logic here
def __nonzero__(self): # Python 2 compatibility
return type(self).__bool__(self)
Division
~~~~~~~~
::
class MyDivisible(object):
def __truediv__(self, other):
return self / other # implement some logic here
def __div__(self, other): # Python 2 compatibility
return type(self).__truediv__(self, other)
def __itruediv__(self, other):
return self // other # implement some logic here
def __idiv__(self, other): # Python 2 compatibility
return type(self).__itruediv__(self, other)
Special methods are looked up on the class and not on the instance to reflect
the behavior of the Python interpreter.

Writing compatible code with six
--------------------------------
six_ is the canonical compatibility library for supporting Python 2 and 3 in
a single codebase. Read its documentation!
A :mod:`customized version of six <django.utils.six>` is bundled with Django
as of version 1.4.2. You can import it as ``django.utils.six``.
Here are the most common changes required to write compatible code.
.. _string-handling-with-six:
String handling
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The ``basestring`` and ``unicode`` types were removed in Python 3, and the
meaning of ``str`` changed. To test these types, use the following idioms::
isinstance(myvalue, six.string_types) # replacement for basestring
isinstance(myvalue, six.text_type) # replacement for unicode
isinstance(myvalue, bytes) # replacement for str
Python ≥ 2.6 provides ``bytes`` as an alias for ``str``, so you don't need
:data:`six.binary_type`.
``long``
~~~~~~~~
The ``long`` type no longer exists in Python 3. ``1L`` is a syntax error. Use
:data:`six.integer_types` check if a value is an integer or a long::
isinstance(myvalue, six.integer_types) # replacement for (int, long)
``xrange``
~~~~~~~~~~
If you use ``xrange`` on Python 2, import ``six.moves.range`` and use that
instead. You can also import ``six.moves.xrange`` (it's equivalent to
``six.moves.range``) but the first technique allows you to simply drop the
import when dropping support for Python 2.
Moved modules
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some modules were renamed in Python 3. The ``django.utils.six.moves``
module (based on the :mod:`six.moves module <six.moves>`) provides a
compatible location to import them.
``PY2``
~~~~~~~
If you need different code in Python 2 and Python 3, check :data:`six.PY2`::
if six.PY2:
# compatibility code for Python 2
This is a last resort solution when :mod:`six` doesn't provide an appropriate
function.

Django customized version of ``six``
------------------------------------
The version of six bundled with Django (``django.utils.six``) includes a few
customizations for internal use only.
