Requires Python 2, not 3.

SimonBiggs commented 7 years ago

It appears that roboto dependencies currently require Python 2. In particular https://github.com/robofab-developers/robofab.git@62229c4ea33c324e698766d3700ca9a47efcdeb6 .

We recommend installing the dependencies with a virtualenv

virtualenv roboto-env

On Mac OS X, Python 2.7 is still the default for creating new virtualenvs, if a Python version isn't specified. Is this still the case for distros of Linux?

I was running Ubuntu 17.04 at the time I wrote that pull request. I have since reverted to 16.04 so I won't be able to confirm for you.

My system defaulted to Python 3 with the virtual env, but that could have been my own settings. I thought the note about requiring Python 2 would be helpful nevertheless.

@SimonBiggs this confirms my suspicions. I remember Ubuntu changed the default Python to 3+ after Ubuntu 14.04.

This pr could probably go further and use the explicit v2 commands for systems have that both installed v2 and v3
