The current package on PyPI doesn't support python 3. See #65 - you could add another comment to encourage them to add a new release.

In the meantime, it should work if you install it from master pip install git+https://github.com/iminuit/probfit.git#egg=probfit

Hi @dneise and @raymondEhlers, a release working with Python 3 will hopefully be out soon. As you can see from the activity, we're trying to iron out a few things.

Hi @eduardo-rodrigues, thanks for the efforts - they are much appreciated!

Hi folks, pobfit's build is finally passing again! Can you give it a try for yourselves and close this, if happy? Thanks a lot.

[eduardo-rodrigues]

probfit 1.1.0 is available on PyPI. Am closing this PR as I believe it's all sorted out.

Feel free to reopen if you have any trouble. Otherwise … enjoy!

It took me a few days to make time to try it out, but just wanted to follow up to say that it seems to be working nicely. Thanks!
