<p>The "move" includes two changes, from what I understand, because
Python3 no longer has the PyGTK interface? So, you cannot move
from Python2 to Python3 and keep the existing GUI. <br>
</p>
<p>I guess we could change the GUI from PyGTK to wxPython, and then
change from Python2 to Python3, but that means even longer before
it is ready.</p>
<p>Of the tests that get executed by the "run_tests.py" script, I
have all tests passing with the exception of Yaesu FTM-3200D R. I
expect I can get that passing before next week.</p>
<p>Dan,</p>
<p>What would be the next steps? I can see that there might be radio
updates since the branch. Should I merge the updated radio files
into my branch and make sure that works? Or, should we get the GUI
up to speed? When I ran the GUI, I noticed several features not
yet there.</p>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">In my
opinion, a move to Python 3 would be great, but is being
hampered by two things, at least based on what is in the
'py3' branch:</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default">* The "move" to Python 3 isn't
really a move; the code is being updated in such a way as
to preserve Python 2 compatibility.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">* At the
same time as moving to Python 3, the UI technology is
being switched from Gtk to wxPython.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">If it was
just a straight *move* to Python 3, dropping Python 2 and
allowing developers to take full advantage of Python 3
features, I, and I suspect others, would be more
interested in helping out, since I don't honestly see much
point in keeping Python 2 compatibility any more. As you
say, it's been EOL for a while.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Also, I
feel that switching the UI technology should be a separate
effort from updating the language version, unless there's
some compelling reason that the two cannot be done
sequentially. I'd say get to Python 3 first, and then
maybe think about switching UI technologies.</div>
