[Biopython-dev] Level of Python 3 support?

Hi all,

We've have Python 3 coverage on the Travis continuous
integration tests & the nightly builtbot tests for quite some
time now.
http://travis-ci.org/biopython/biopython
http://testing.open-bio.org/biopython/tgrid

There have been a few Python 3 specific issues reported
(which have been fixed), but I think we should probably
go ahead and say we support Python 3.1 or later (with
the exception of some minor C code which has not been
ported).

Does this seem like a good move for the next release?

We've already said that this (Biopython 1.62) will be the
final release to support Python 2.5, which will help make
some bits of the 2/3 compatibility code much simpler.

Regards,

Peter
