Hello! Would it be possible to clarify which Python versions are supported? Thank you.

I believe all our Python code to date requires python 2.7, and not Python 3. I've just done a quick review of the code in this repository, and in general it looks like it would make the jump to Python 3 pretty easily. However, the import statements are still the ambiguous Python-2-style relative imports, and so in testing the code breaks in Python 3.

For now, I have a pull request out to be explicit in setup.py as to which versions of python are supported:
#147

I expect some time soon there'll be a more comprehensive revision to address Python 3 compatibility.

I hope this helps.

Revisiting this, I think we've since addressed this ask. I'm closing this as done, but please feel free to reopen it if you think this needs further attention.

Relevant changes:

  • In the readme, we have a section stating the python version support https://github.com/Exabyte-io/esse/actions
  • In the python setup.py, we have the python_requires field set to >=3.6, which should guide pip to finding the correct version.
