I cannot really comment on this because we did not try this. In retrospect, I would expect it to be possible to obtain a Python 2.7 based version that would allow an automatic porting to Python 3. But given our limited resources we realy wanted to minimize the effort - and thought it to be more important, in the long run, to have a Python 3 based version of PyX at all. Cheers, Jörg |
