A good place to share and discuss these would be on the conwaylife.com forums.

Would it be worthwile porting python plugin support in golly to python3? Or may[b]e remove python support completely? It's definitely worthwhile to make the move to Python 3 at some point. There's a large existing codebase of Python 2 scripts in common use, so it doesn't make much sense to remove Python support completely.
