Description Andreas Roth 2011-06-06 04:33:15 UTC

I tried to compile the dbus-python bindings on Windows MSVC (32-bit) with Python 3.2. Since there are many changes in the Python API (e.g. PyIntObject has been renamed to PyLongObject), the dbus bindings need some modifications too. Are there any plans to support python 3.2 in the near future?

Not really; the dbus-python API has major design flaws and the move from Python 2 to 3 seems as good a time as any to move to something better. See Bug #26420 for further discussion.
