Does Behave (BDD) work with Python 3.4?
Question: I am using [Behave](http://pythonhosted.org/behave/install.html) (BDD for
Python) and have been trying to enable JUnit output without success. After
troubleshooting, I realized that I am getting the following error message
**only** when using **Python 3.4** :

    
    
    /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/bin/python3.4 "/Users/myusername/Documents/Programming/Selenium Programming/GMail Project/GMailTests.py"
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/Users/myusername/Documents/Programming/Selenium Programming/GMail Project/GMailTests.py", line 62, in <module>
        config = Configuration()
      File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/behave/configuration.py", line 481, in __init__
        load_configuration(self.defaults, verbose=verbose)
      File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/behave/configuration.py", line 394, in load_configuration
        defaults.update(read_configuration(filename))
      File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/behave/configuration.py", line 348, in read_configuration
        result[dest] = cfg.get('behave', dest, use_raw_value)
    TypeError: get() takes 3 positional arguments but 4 were given
    

When I update my project to use Python 2.7 instead, everything works fine.

Here is an important note: this is only causing trouble when I enable the
JUnit output in the `behave.ini` config file. If I take the two lines below
out of the config, everything goes fine. Unfortunately, I need to enable JUnit
output for my project:

    
    
    [behave]
    junit=true
    junit_directory=./JunitReports
    

If you know of any way I could make this work with Python 3.4, I'd love to
know about it. Thanks in advance.


Answer: Looks like I answered my own question in my last comment. I just wanted to
close the thread and provide an official answer as of 8/13/2014: `behave` is
**not** fully supported on `Python`**`3.4`** , and even though most of it
works fine when installed using `pip3 install behave`, the `JUnit` output
option does not function.

There is a known issue for it that has been documented
[here](https://github.com/behave/behave/issues/82).
