Hey all. Migrating Orca to Python 3 has been on the to-do list for a while now. Upon being told that Ubuntu was hoping to have its next release be all Python 3 (at least for their live CD), I decided to go ahead and do it. That work has been committed to master. Furthermore, the Accessibility Team felt that this was worth doing for all its modules. As a result, pyatspi2 is now Python 3 compatible and Accerciser's migration is underway (just waiting for the code review).
This change, unfortunately, makes jhbuild unhappy when building Orca (and later Accerciser) in an environment which lacks Python 3 versions of the build dependencies. I was hoping it would be relatively straightforward to adjust jhbuild to handle this new situation. But the solution didn't jump out at me, so I asked in #release-team because I didn't want to make their lives unpleasant during next week's release. What I was told by Walters is: " ... anyways we don't have a way in jhbuild to express a dependency on python3 that i'm aware of (jhbuild has always just been an out of date snapshot of some of the dependencies of a given component)." And Matthias said I should ask here. :) Ideas?
