Re: [Configobj-develop] pip install on Py 3.4

[Rob D. <rd...@gm...>]

Validate is certainly intended to by 3 compatible and we have tests running on 3.2 and 3.3. However, to get the appropriate version of validate, you should use the one that's packaged with configobj. This is a bit confusing for a new person, and long term I don't think there's a case for packaging it separately (the current one exists for backwards compatibility).


If you don't mind me asking, what lead you to try pip installing validate? I tried removing all references to doing that from the (new) official docs, but perhaps I missed one. 




If you found the docs on voidspace, I'm afraid those are the pre-python 3 compatibility work Eli and I have done and I'd recommend find configobj on github or readthedocs.
