vb2py status?

[axtens]

G'day everyone

So is vb2py dead? If not, any idea when it'll support python 3?

Kind regards,
Bruce.

You're always better off asking at the project site than here, but
given it hasn't been updated since Feb 2004 I think it's safe to say
the project is dead.

But it *is* open source, so feel free to pick it up and run with it if
it fills a need for you

I don't know this vb2py, but you can do a 2 pass conversion

[vb] -> (vb2py) -> [py2] -> (2to3) -> [py3]

[vb] -> (vb2py) -> [py2] -> (2to3) -> [py3]

....and presumibly get something which doesn't work at all. =)

why?
AFAIK there aren't problems into the 2to3 phase
I don't think the resulted python code would be the best one, but at least
it should work...

2to3 is far from perfect, and assuming the same is true of vb2py
(inevitably) then you get imperfection squared.
