Python 3

[Immortalin]

Any plans for python 3 support?

The dev fork works fine in Python 3:

@JarrettR unable to get hello-solder working on fork, any suggestions for other example boards?

[JarrettR]

Yeah, that one is for an older version. Thelady is a complicated one that works.

I like Binco, a lot less stuff to strip out as an example project.

I'm starting to work on the next version of PCBmodE at branch cinco-master. We'll drop support for Python2 and require Python 3.7+.

Please just use the highest python that inkscape is using. not sure if its going to be 3.7 or 3.5 ???

[saardrimer]

It's not explicitly stated... if it's using what's available on the system it'd launch which Python3 you're already using for PCBmodE. Right?

They bundle a version with the install so they can control the version used by all of the extensions and includes TlInter as a UI. I think they have not decided for sure yet which version they will bundle with 1.0 but I'd have to check the dev email list.
in 0.48 it was a really old version of python. in 0.92 they finally updated it and for 1.0 they will log to Python 3.

Ah. OK. It would be great to know.
