Re: [ESPResSo-users] Python Interface

[Axel Arnold]

Hi!

Pierre is correct, ESPResSo is not Python3-compatible. The error you see comes 
from the fact that string constants in Python3 are Unicode, which Tcl_eval 
doesn't eat. There should be a b before the string to make it a byte string, 
but a short grep for print makes me doubt the rest of the code is python3...

Would be good if the build process refuses python3...
