Cheers. This has been added to several files already, but it's obviously a one-by-one process. I've also updated the README and the launcher to say that we don't support Python 3 yet. > Does meld-3.11.0 officially support python-3.x? 3.11.0 definitely does *not* support Python 3. Most of the code base is actually python 3 compatible, but areas such as interaction with GTK need significant changes for unicode handling differences. This shouldn't be a lot of work, but 3.11.0 had already taken way too long and I didn't want to hold it up. It's quite likely that Meld will *require* Python 3.3 before 3.12 comes around. Supporting both Python 2 and 3 seems relatively pointless for user applications, and Python 3 is widely available. cheers, Kai _______________________________________________ meld-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/meld-list
