Yes. The development version currently uses Python 3. But be aware this
means old Python scripts generally won't work without some rewriting.

I expect that for gimp 3.x, the python code will be (or was already) ported to
python 3.x - but I don't expect it will require or justify a full rewrite of
gimp given these links:

* https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/04/06/things-you-should-never-do-part-i/

* https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2002/01/23/rub-a-dub-dub/

Perhaps there will still be compatibility with python 2.7 being able to run the
same code, but I don't recommend you to count on that.

[Gimp-developer] Python 2.X vs 3.x

[Rikard Johnels]

Hello all you wonderful developers!
I am a happy user of Gimp since a few years.


One slight question:

Will GIMP be "rewritten" for Python 3 at all? (Seeing as 2.x is (slowly) being 
phased out...)
