 Can I use Django with Python 3?

-Not at the moment. Python 3.0 introduced a number of
-backwards-incompatible changes to the Python language, and although
-these changes are generally a good thing for Python's future, it will
-be a while before most Python software catches up and is able to run
-on Python 3.0. For larger Python-based software like Django, the
-transition is expected to take at least a year or two (since it
-involves dropping support for older Python releases and so must be

+Django 1.5 introduces experimental support for Python 3.2 and 3.3. However, we
+don't yet suggest that you use Django and Python 3 in production.

+Python 3 support should be considered a "preview". It's offered to bootstrap
+the transition of the Django ecosystem to Python 3, and to help you start
+porting your apps for future Python 3 compatibility. But we're not yet
+confidant enough to promise stability in production.
 
-In the meantime, Python 2.x releases will be supported and provided
-with bug fixes and security updates by the Python development team, so
-continuing to use a Python 2.x release during the transition should
-not present any risk.
+Our current plan is to make Django 1.6 suitable for general use with Python 3.
 
 Will Django run under shared hosting (like TextDrive or Dreamhost)?
