I also vote for keeping compatibility with both 2.7 and 3.x (x >=3) for the next couple of LyX versions: * There are still a lot of installations, where 2.7 (or older) is the default Python version. * As we can have one common source for both major versions, the added burden is managable. I am also willing to help, if required. Günter
