Hi Andreas, I don't foresee this working, because the package depends on swig to perform the heavy lifting for the python bindings, and debian currently packages only version 3 of swig, which as far as I can tell, does not support python3...
Version 4 of swig does seem to support python3, using a new command-line option `-py3`. I'm cc'ing Torsten Landschoff <tors...@debian.org> on this bug, as he is llisted as the debian maintainer for the swig package. @Torsten - Am I correct about python3 support in swig3? Is debian planning on soon updating the package to version 4 (ie. before debian drops support for python2)? Do you have any suggestions or pointers for us?
