Does anyone object to porting to Python 3.x (and dropping 2.x support)?
Some useful data points:
- Debian stable has 3.1, testing/unstable have 3.2
- Fedora 18 and Arch Linux have 3.3
- Windows installers for 3.3 are available on python.org
- Mac OS X support for 3.3 is also available on python.org
- numpy and mako are both available for Python 3 now. numpy is packaged
on Arch and Debian testing/unstable. Not sure how much of a pain it is
to get on Windows/OSX.
- intel-gpu-tools now requires Python 3.x to build.
Jon Severinsson did a great job in making a hybrid solution that works
with both Python 2 and 3, but I'm a bit nervous about some of it. For
example, unicode stuff has bitten us in the past, and supporting only
one major language version seems a lot easier to get right. It'd also
be a lot cleaner to just transition to Python 3.x.
