Didn't catch the conversion script. I think it will be a big deal for HOM to get to 3.0 since they'll need to mess with it's internal workings I gather (mainly hou). It's still at 2.5.2 after all, so I'm very curious about what direction they'll head. I doubt they'll answer that question on the forums unless they already have it nailed down. Maybe someone (me?) will have the wherewithal to ask :). I wouldn't be surprised if they had an extra build at some point (like the VC7 and VC8 32-bit flavors). Cool!

"hython" etc. so, i'm curious, what will it take for sesi to move to 3.0? peace & 42 according to the http://docs.python.org/3.0/whatsnew/3.0.html there is a “2to3″ conversion/update script. that’s cool.. does anybody know if there is a “0to3″ or “0to2″ script? something that would essentially do the work for me? ;o)
