Nope, not yet. However, as I discussed with one guy of the team some time
ago, I do not think there is any plan to go to python3.
This is an academic tool, and very often, they only focus on getting

I understand the need to plan python3 switch, however we cannot block tools
used by the community.

I will ask upstream anyway.
