Others have weighed in. I did send out an update to a version that still had python 2.x support. The question was raised if we needed to do that though. It has been suspected that most/all just use the binary to generate documentation rather than using the libraries (which would still potentially require the python2 version). I got distracted onto other things and have been busy otherwise. If you want to investigate that, it would be great. --Kurt
