A worthy goal and I'm sure the LinuxCNC folk would be grateful for contributions. Be aware that porting the python code is only half the problem, though. In order to make it work with Python 3, you'll have to also address the embedding issue. Python is interconnected with LinuxCNC through some generated bindings to C and also C++ code. I'm not sure what they used for the C++ bindings, maybe boost? There was some discussion of this on the bug tracker and it looks like a fairly major undertaking. See this year-old discussion: https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/issues/403 Whatever you do, you probably will want to discuss it on the github issue tracker to make sure efforts aren't duplicated. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
