The Nikola project is deprecating Python 2.7 (+2.x/3.x user survey results)

[Chris Warrick]

The Nikola developers decided to deprecate Python 2.7 support.
Starting with v7.7.2, Nikola will display a warning if Python 2.7 is
used (but it will still be fully supported). In early 2016, Nikola
v8.0.0 will come out, and that release will not support Python 2.7
officially.

The decision was made on the basis of a user survey, with 138
participants. The vast majority of them claimed that they either use
Python 3 already, or can switch really easily. The main reason for the
switch was the fact that supporting both requires a lot of extra
effort, especially because Python 2.7’s Unicode support is abysmal.

What is Nikola?
===============

Nikola is a static site and blog generator, written in Python.
It can use Mako and Jinja2 templates, and input in many popular markup
formats, such as reStructuredText and Markdown — and can even turn
Jupyter (IPython) Notebooks into blog posts! It also supports image
galleries, and is multilingual. Nikola is flexible, and page builds
are extremely fast, courtesy of doit (which is rebuilding only what
has been changed).
