Subject: contributor's guide 10.2.8 Python
Hi,
10.2.8 of the contributors guide says
"Python is used for XML2ly and is building the documentation and the
website"
Sounds a bit incomplete to me. XML2ly is musicxml2ly I guess. And what
about midi2ly, lilypond-book, abc2ly, convert-ly?
I think you're right. A patch to correct this would be welcome.
Also I was hoping to find info about the required/recommended Python
version here when I was browsing the docs. Maybe that info can be found
somewhere else?
It looks like the Python on my windows install is 2.4.5.
BTW: Are there any thoughts about switching from Python 2.x to Python 3.x
somewhere in the future?
I don't believe so. A lot of the GUB build relies on Python, and it also
creates a shipping Python by a mechanism I don't believe anyone currently
understands. Is there a good reason to want to?
