Re: [Gramps-devel] Python 3.x

[Benny M. <ben...@gm...>]

So we are python 2.6 at the moment.

It doesn't make much difference for Gramps, as the type of python code we
need does not need advanced concepts.
We will move to python 3.x only if our dependencies are available in 3.x.
The most blocking one is pygtk which moves to pygobject (introspection).
This is available today, but we need to have that new code stabilize before
we can consider moving Gramps to it. New code also has the disadvantage that
it is not yet very optimized.

The other parts Gramps needs seem to support python 3.x in the meantime.
