- ============================
- Introducing Python 3 support
- ============================
- .. _Python 2.7 clock: https://pythonclock.org/
- .. sidebar:: Python 2.7 to 3 upgrade
- This chapter exists of historical reasons. Python 2.7 release schedule ends
- (`Python 2.7 clock`_) after 11 years Python 3 exists
- As most operation systems are coming with Python3 installed by default. So it is
- time for searx to support Python3. But don't worry support of Python2.7 won't be
- dropped.

- How to run searx using Python 3
- ===============================
- Please make sure that you run at least Python 3.5.
- To run searx, first a Python3 virtualenv should be created. After entering the
- virtualenv, dependencies must be installed. Then run searx with python3 instead
- of the usual python command.
- .. code:: sh
- virtualenv -p python3 venv3
- source venv3/bin/activate
- pip3 install -r requirements.txt
- python3 searx/webapp.py
- If you want to run searx using Python2.7, you don't have to do anything
- differently as before.
- Fun facts
- =========
- - 115 files were changed when implementing the support for both Python versions.
- - All of the dependencies was compatible except for the robotframework used for
- browser tests. Thus, these tests were migrated to splinter. So from now on
- both versions are being tested on Travis and can be tested locally.
- If you found bugs
- =================
- Please open an issue on `GitHub`_. Make sure that you mention your Python
- version in your issue, so we can investigate it properly.

- Acknowledgment
- ==============
- This development was sponsored by `NLnet Foundation`_.
