Hi All,
I know it has been asked several times about which python version is used, and we currently use 2.6/2.7 as the base. (I believe that's correct?)
I would like to make a feature request that for v15 it would be nice to update to Python 3 - as it was released in 2008 - it's been around a long time - and now appears to be the default for most projects.
I accept that several addons might require a few changes to get them working with Python 3 - but most major releases of Kodi require a little tweak here and there anyway - and I don't think it's now that unexpected for a major release.
I know we do things like update the orther third party libraries in Kodi - so I thought I'd post a request to schedule in a Python update for v15?
Thoughts?
Thanks
Rob
