We'll see if/when that starts happening. If Python 2 is what companies use in production, their developers will build also new packages to prioritize python 2. On Fri, Jan 16, 2015 at 9:03 PM, Kent Tenney wrote: > > Anyway inevitably there will be packages not available for python3, > (legacy) >

Further thought - it's still unclear which one is the dead end, python 2 or python 3. There is very little motivation still to prioritize python 3 when python 2 has all the users and developers - everyone ensures their stuff works on python 2, and python 3 is "voluntary extra". On Fri, Jan 16, 20

PIP is routinely used with python 2 - in fact a lot of modules in PyPI is Python 2 only. You can get it here: https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing.html On Fri, Jan 16, 2015 at 1:20 PM, Edward K. Ream wrote: > > > On Wednesday, January 14, 2015 at 9:31:32 AM UTC-6, Edward K. Ream wrote: >> >

This thread has inspired me to get things working in Python3, i.e. Leo plus all the plugins I use. I have PyQt5 installed in Python3, so this includes fixing Qt4/5 stuff. Notes so far: paramiko is a package for Ubuntu 14.04 for 2.7 but not 3, no big deal, pip3 can install it. I've been loading

Oh, I didn't understand that the question was whether or not to abandon 2, that wouldn't be good. I'd welcome help from someone running Leo trunk in a virtualenv with Py3 and PyQt5 On Wed, Jan 14, 2015 at 9:26 AM, Edward K. Ream wrote: > On Tue, Jan 13, 2015 at 10:06 AM, Kent Tenney wrote: >> >

I recently tried to switch to v3, as I remember, I was thwarted by problems having to do with PyQT in a virtualenv. I currently run Leo in a virtualenv, I think I linked to system files to make PyQT work, but I don't remember how I did it. So, I'd like a virtualenv with 3.x Python to run Leo from

I would like to have most (all?) Leo developers develop and test using 3.x. Would that be a problem for anyone? Guido has stated that there will be no version 2.8 of Python: http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0404/ (Hahaha: Pep 404) although some disagree: http://blog.startifact.com/posts/the
