Dreamhost no longer supports Passenger, so I need to switch to gunicorn. My thing is ancient, so it's written in python2 and needs to be ported to python3. And it uses kid for templating, which hasn't been updated since 2007. So I'll have to move to something else that runs in python3.

… this is gonna take a while.

Making pretty decent progress, actually! Ran 2to3 which had no complaints, figured out the basics of running gunicorn for testing, and next step is to switch to a more modern templating system.

A quick and dirty Internet search said that Jinja2 is probably an acceptable option, so I'll start with that.

@mikaeleiman

Jinja2 is amazing! Solid choice.

I'd also run ruff (with all possible rules enabled) and mypy on the code at least once, especially if the test coverage is low. It will spit out a lot of false-positives but might also find some bugs related to the upgrade.

@mikaeleiman Yeah #Jinja2 is kind of the "default" template system for anything in #Python - not literally the default, but popular enough that it might as well be. It'd be a good choice for you.
