Re: [cctbxbb] Is there a schedule for the python3 migration or can cctbx.python already be built to be/use a python3 interpreter?

With DIALS we use python3 exclusively - have done so for a long while - everything we use from cctbx seems largely OK with this

Python2 is dead to me, and many other dials devs

Oh, that's great to hear, I really hope to have everything Python3.6+ soon as well. Still bootstrap.py seems to default to building a python 2.7.18 interpreter? Is this just for legacy backwards compatibility? All the best Jan

Cheers,

I'm getting more and more concerned with the state of cctbx and the impending removal of python2 from quite a lot of major linux distributions in the near future.

So far I have not managed to find documentation on how to build the cctbx to then use a python3 interpreter for the cctbx.python script, but I would really like to have this, as I'd have to check/port my code that's using cctbx modules (mostly smtbx and xrax) to python3 as well, so that it does not get obsoleted.

So is it possible to build cctbx as a python3 module by now and if so how would one be able to do this?
