The title say it all :-)

As I have only python 3 installed on my computer and don't want to mess my system by having multiple versions at the same time, I have started to do it myself but I am far from finishing it :(

Hi!

At some point during the year, I will rewrite GRP completely using wxpython (instead of tkinter) and python3 (instead of python2).

But it won't happen immediately, because I want to fist stabilize GRP1 in term of new features, so that I can have the big picture in mind before starting GRP2, to be able to make a better design of the software.

In the meantime, we can certainly find a solution for you to run GRP1 on your computer without installing python2.

What operating system are you running?

Hum, windows 10? :)

Hi, Why not use pyqt, you can maintain the GUI interface and the functionality separately.

@Cabu , then the Windows packages that can be downloaded there http://yuntingdian.com/goreviewpartner/ should run on you computer, right?

@xiaozhezhang I haven't 100% decided yet between Qt or wxpython, but I am leaning toward wxpython for the moment. The reasons are:

wxpython widgets are the system widgets, 100% the same, so the UI feels is the same (while Qt are good approximations)
packing for wxpython will result in lighter package (the full Qt distribution is heavy)

Well, I started to make equivalent proofs of concepts in both toolkit to see exactly how they differ.
