supervisord for python 3?

Question

Want to use supervisord to control the processes for my Python 3 project. It is specifically stated that "Supervisor is known to work with Python 2.4 or later but will not work under any version of Python 3".

Any suggestions for supervisor replacement for Python 3?

Answer 1

The upcoming 4.0 release of Supervisord will support Python 2.7, and 3.4 and up. Until then, you could use the supervisor-py3k fork.

Or simply run supervisord with Python 2; your Python 3 codebase is otherwise unaffected, as supervisord is an independent process.

Answer 2

To use supervisord with Python 3 you can setup it directly with pip:

pip install git+https://github.com/Supervisor/supervisor

Answer 3

Python 3 support for supervisord is still experimental and as mentioned in documentation, you shouldn't use it in production.

Mozilla Foundation has developed a package called circus which works on Python 3.

It manages process with circusd and it also has circusctl, circus-top, circus-web(similar to supervisor).

You can use your supervisor conf file with circus with some changes. It also has a seperate section in docs for users coming from supervisor. You can read that for more details.

Update: Latest master has python 3 support. You can install it with

pip install git+https://github.com/Supervisor/supervisor

Answer 4

Master branch of Supervisor already supports Python3. It's a development version, so please notify any bug you find.

Answer 5

supervisor 4+ supports Python3, It's available in PyPI so you can simply do pip install supervisor to install it.
