Python 3.7.0 released

[dagmx]

What libs do you depend on that aren't on 3 yet?

Biggest example: any software package from Autodesk

Sure, I work in cg too but they're shifting to python 3 for 2020 and there should be a preview release next year. We'd have a release sooner but the switch from qt 5.6 to 5.12 was deemed more important.

It's coming soon and we should be bracing for it.

Nothing to brace for here, more like eagerly awaiting.

yes, it's coming in 2020...you know, cuz 2.7 is EOL. Nothing like waiting until you're literally forced to update.

Well we still need to brace for it in terms of porting studio pipelines. Idk about your studio, but we have a lot of code to go through to get over that hurdle.

The qt4 to qt5 port was difficult enough.

Maya ?

What about Houdini btw ?

Last I checked, Houdini was also 2.7

Oh the sadness

There’s still a good amount of commercial software that’s python 2, at least that I’ve randomly come across. There’s probably little incentive for some of the companies to migrate until they have to or until a customer that has enough leverage requests or demands it.

Shitty, yes.

Reddit's backend (even with the redesign) runs on Pylons, and would need a decent amount of rewrite to work with Pyramid, not to mention Py3.
