Python 3.0? #21

Closed binarybottle closed 11 years ago

binarybottle commented 11 years ago

Question: should we gear our first release for Python 3.x vs. 2.7? I believe all the dependencies are supported by Python 3 and Raja had trouble importing vtk with Python 2.6 but not by 2.7. I'm concerned about supporting two versions of Mindboggle, even with conversion utilities such as 2to3...

nipype is not py3k compatible yet.

binarybottle commented 11 years ago

When will nipype be py3k compatible? And with vtk difficulties, should we be supporting python 2.7?

satra commented 11 years ago

i don't think vtk is py3k compatible yet - nipype probably won't be till later this year. everything else is mostly in python 2.7/2.6 still

binarybottle commented 11 years ago

Would it be reasonable to expect python 2.7? Separate question: should we simply expect people to install and run mindboggle from within neurodebian?

i think 2.6 should still be in the picture for a while, but you can insist on 2.7

only on debian/debian derived platforms

binarybottle commented 11 years ago

and virtual machines. this would greatly ease installation and maintenance, wouldn't it? one set of instructions for a single platform.

satra commented 11 years ago

virtual machines do help, but many folks aren't comfortable with the idea yet.
