Yeah, py3 support is on our list of things todo. We would love to get help porting. BUT, things are rather slow at getting done at the moment. I have started a rewrite branch that I am told is what they intend to change the development branch to. It has been restructured with numerous other fixes done to clean up the code. There are still a ton more things to do. There are a few of us waiting for the change to happen before doing a bunch of work that may need rebasing because of other changes done to the current master. I had that happen once where I did a big re-write (another project) and it took nearly 4 years to get merged. I had to rebase numerous times as well as port changes to the new code many times. :( I also had to migrate the VCS in the midst of it. Personally I think it may be better to wait a bit on the py3 compatibility changes. Many of the potential problem spots will need fixing anyway, so conversion would likely be smoother after some more re-write work is done. I hadn't heard of pycharm, I have been using pyflakes and pylint. I'll check it out. you can get my rewite branch so far at http://dev.gentoo.org/~dolsen/catalyst/ When you clone it, it will compain about not being able to check out master. You will need to "git checkout re-write". But I would just add my url as another remote to your current clone and fetch it. I have also made changes for the code to be easily run from the checkout. Edit the testpath file then in the terminal you wish to run catalyst from: source ./tesptath > Thanks for your time and any feedback, > MMR...
