Python 3 support
rth opened this issue · comments
Thanks for this library!
Just a reminder that most major scientific Python packages have dropped Python 2 support now, so only supporting Python 2 is quite problematic.
Related to #110
There was a WIP attempt in #132 that didn't receive much interest.
Is the Python 3 migration something you expect to happen? Any help needed there?
Great to hear that!
On a related subject, are there any plans to use PyO3 or something similar for the Python wrapper to avoid manually setting WELD_HOME
env variable at build time?
I'd love to see Python3 support. Happy to give it a try if you want help testing.
That would great! Expect a PR in the coming days here. @rth yes, we're eliminating the environment variables required to build it in this patch.
Could we get an update on this? I still see all the docs use python3 atm. I would be happy to update the docs once this issue is resolved.
