Others have weighed in. I did send out an update to a version that
still had python 2.x support. The question was raised if we needed to
do that though. It has been suspected that most/all just use the binary
to generate documentation rather than using the libraries (which would
still potentially require the python2 version). I got distracted onto
other things and have been busy otherwise. If you want to investigate
that, it would be great.
