160+ Python 3.x Support
161+ ------------------
162+
163+ There are currently two ways to get a Python 3 version of the library.
164+
165+ * Check out the main branch, and run ` make python3 ` from the ` tools/python ` directory. This will produce a new
166+ top-level ` python3/ ` directory containing the Python 3 version of the library, as produced by
167+ [ 2to3] ( http://docs.python.org/2/library/2to3.html ) .
168+ * Check out the (somewhat experimental) ` python3 ` branch, which holds a unified version of the library that runs
169+ under both Python 2.x (x >= 5) and Python 3.x.
170+
171+ At some point the ` python3 ` branch will probably become the main branch, but at the moment it sometimes lags behind the
172+ main branch. Please let me know if you're using the ` python3 ` branch in anger, so that I can know to keep it more
173+ up-to-date (and possibly accelerate the plans to make it the mainline version).
You can’t perform that action at this time.
