Python 3 support? #15

Closed rubyFeedback closed 4 years ago

rubyFeedback commented 4 years ago

Hey there,

Does OligoMiner work with python3 too? If so could the main README also mention this perhaps?

Background: with new python3 releases coming about, I think the number of python2 uses may slowly shrink, and I am wondering about using software that may be "stuck" on python2. It would be quite helpful if we could know beforehand about the support possibilities for different python versions, to lessen frustration to those that may only use python 3.x these days (as opposed to those who use only python 2.x, or those who actually use both versions fine).

Hello, OligoMiner does not work with Python 3 and as of now there are no imminent plans to change this. We recommend making a dedicated conda env with Python 2.7.x as described in the README. You can also access a web-based, dockerized version of OligoMiner at http://oligominerapp.org/home
