[Scons-users] How important is python 3?

[Robert Lupton the Good]

We have no plans to move to python 3, and we fear that python 3 would be a distraction while there are still things that don't quite work in scons as it is (let alone the speed/memory issues).  If moving to python3 would help the development that's another matter, but my reading on python3 is that that's unlikely to be the case.

For example http://scons.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2798 which has been open for a year and with a status of NEW. (The bug is a report that changing the order of targets causes a rebuild (it's to do with dependency tracking in swig and C++ being different))
