I cleaned RELEASE-NOTES for the master branch. This note is still

- LyX needs to be run under Python 2 and will not work properly on
systems
where Python 3 is the default binary. See bug #7030 to know how
to fix
this properly, since simple sheebang conversion in *.py files
will not
be enough.
I've seen some references here and there (e.g. Benjamin's work on
features/python3), but Python 3 incompatibility is still in master
right?
Actually, I thought this problem was solved a couple of years or so
ago (about Lyx? 2.0.2)
I used to have problems on my ArchLinux box (with python 3 as a
default) but that is no longer
the case.
There are two different issues here: (i) Will LyX work when Python 3 is
the default? (ii) Will
LyX work with Python 3? The answer to the former is "Yes", as long as
Python 2 is available:
We now look for it explicitly. The answer to the latter, I believe, is
"No": The LyX scripts will
not run under Python 3, though some work has been done on that, as Scott
mentioned.
