Elixir for Python 3?

Question

I have a problem installing Elixir with Python 3 although I have installed SqlAlchemy 0.7.3 successfully? I've tried google-ing but I am loosing hope. Is there really a version of Elixir for Python 3? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Looking at the source code, I see that the latest change happened 10 months ago. Also, searching for print I see that all the strings found in all branches use print as a statement, not as a function and there isn't any log string that makes a reference to python 3.

Hence, since I don't see any trace of work towards supporting python 3, I'd say there's no Elixir for Python 3 unless that work is hosted in a different location.

Edit: As pointed out by a comment, in setup.py there's some useful information. In particular, for python3 2to3 is executed to generate a python3 version of the code. Note that this depends completely on 2to3 and doesn't guarantee that the final result is going to work fine.

Answer 2

There has been work done on Elixir to support Python 3, but Elixir has not seen a release with this work included. I'm not involved in Elixir and do not know the status of this work, but you might want to try to use a checkout of the latest source code.

If that works, you should badger the authors into making a release.

If it doesn't work, you should join the mailing list and help port it. It's usually not very difficult.
