You are probably right. I was not successful in running Leo with the python3 which came with Ubuntu, but that was because there was no matching pyQt5 package available at the time when I tried. I installed python3 and pyQt5 with conda, and that worked for me. This may no longer be an issue,

Not sure about that, my DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS" is running 2.7 by default, and I'm sure I did a fresh install, not an upgrade. 99.5% sure anyway ;-) But I do think Python 3 is *installed* by default on 18.04. 3.6.7 currently. Cheers -Terry On Wed, Jun 5, 2019 at 9:36 AM Josef

Correction: as far as I heard, Python 3 is already the default on the currrent Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. I was under the wrong assumption that Python 2 is the default, because when I upgraded from 16.04 LTS to 18.04 LTS the default Python installation did not change from 2 to 3. Sorry, if I caused

That makes me wonder what Apple is doing. Does anyone know what the default Python version is for new MacOS installations? Mine is several years old and Python 2.x. I keep the OS updated, but don't think that includes Python updates by default (at least I don't think so). Most of my work is on

Hmm, I think the default installation of Leo should always run on Ubuntu LTS. Ubuntu LTS and derivatives still have by default Python 2 installed. The next Ubuntu LTS won't be out until April 2020 (and the automatic upgrade from an earlier LTS won't happen until Ubuntu 20.4.1, probably around

December 1 of this year is a firm cutoff date for further work in the unified python 2/3 code base that is the basis for Leo 5.9. After that, further work would be pointless, because official support for Python 2 will end on December 31. I suspect there will be a 5.9.1 release of Leo that
