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, but since 'pip install PyQT' doesn't work, I gave up. On Tue, Jan 13, 2015 at 9:54 AM, Edward K.
