There's no question matplotlib will support Python 3.x at some point. It is perhaps surprising how long it is taking for all the projects to support Python 3.x, given that Python 3.0 was officially released "December 3rd, 2008" (after many alpha's and beta's). > Does Pynac really not support Python 2.7?

The version of pynac that is in sage-5.0.beta* definitely does support Python 2.7. The version in sage-4.8 maybe doesn't. -- William > > -Keshav > > ---- > Join us in #sagemath on irc.freenode.net ! > > -- > To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com > To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to > sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel > URL: http://www.sagemath.org -- William Stein Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://wstein.org -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
