Hi Chris, For Master I'd go with python 2 or 3, it seems to be very little difference writing for both. http://python-future.org/compatible_idioms.html And for PyQT I'd vote for 5. as others have said 2.7 and wheezy are in the past. Just my 2.625 cents. JT On 4/18/2017 3:55 AM, Chris Morle

I've been working on a branch that would supply linuxcnc with a python QT based vcp program. This is capable of GLADEvcp type panels and operator screens including python handler files. Qt seems to be the future of GUIs The questions I am wonder on are: python 2 or 3 ? PYQT4 or 5 ? Curr
