Just for the sake of clarification, I ought to use the master branch for my own changes, right? > Replying to [comment:5 alwayslivid]: > > I checked some of the scripts and changed "python" to "python2" wherever the syntax wouldn't allow using Python 3. > > We'd like to transition to Python 3, since python 2 is not supported. So let's leave those scripts with "python" and fix the Python 3 Transitioning from Python 2 to 3 would be pretty great, especially when you take how critical Tor and its surrounding software is into account. For the time being, however, this change would potentially break some of the scripts, considering that `python` can also refer to `python3` and some scripts simply aren't suited for `python3` right now. Maybe this explicit mention of `python2` would also mobilize more people to work on that. (I'd like to do some work on that myself later on.) I'm not sure whether I misinterpreted something, but the changes of the aforementioned tree (#33193) don't seem to be conflicting with my own changes in any capacity. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/33192#comment:9> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
