Re: [orca-list] Update on Orca's branches and Python 3

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

Yes this python3 stuff has been making my head swim, just reading the messages here on the list.  Good work, 
none the less.  Can you remind me what the branch name will be for the 3.6 stuff? I'm not quite ready to try 
banging on that mixture of master and python 3 yet.  We've had python 3 on Arch Linux for a long time but 
it's the compatibility issues that I'm avoiding at the moment.
