Python 3 migration plan

[DanielFaulkner]

With Python 2 no longer supported and Qt5 now well established I have been making a few changes in one of my own branches, building on work by mp15, to add Python3 and Qt5 support to BioNanoAnalyst. This is now running on my machine using Linux, though further testing would be advisable, and I would like to contribute this work back upstream to gain better visibility.

Do you have a plan to create a Python3/Qt5 branch where these edits could be contributed to for testing or would you prefer these kinds of edits (many of which break Python2/Qt4 compatibility) to be contributed directly to the master branch?

Thanks,
Daniel

Thanks Daniel,

I have been thinking to update the code and use the latest software versions. However, I haven't really got a time to do this. It would be nice if you can contribute your work and we will appreciate your help.

Cheers,
Andy

That's great. I'm happy to help a little, time permitting. I have issued a pull request (#11 ) for my work so far. But as it hasn't been extensively tested you may want to edit the commit to merge it into a development branch instead of the master branch until it has received further testing.
