Re: [Duplicity-talk] Python 3 or not?

[Mike Gorse]

There is a Launchpad blueprint for it, and people have attempted to do a 
port. I suspect that it isn't done yet due to lack of time and it being 
non-trivial (mostly because of string vs. bytes changes in python 3).

I've been trying to work on porting the code, since SUSE will likely need 
to have it ported. I submitted a merge request last week for a first pass, 
but it is a very large patch that someone would need to look over.
