python3 support?

[JaroslavHron]

Does the ga4py interface supports python3?

Just trying to install it with python3 gives following obvious error:

python3.6 -s setup.py --no-user-cfg build
  File "setup.py", line 14
    print "numpy is required"
                            ^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print(int "numpy is required")?

ga4py was written against python 2. Thank you for raising this issue. I have made a first attempt at py3 compatibility in the feature/py3 branch. It seems to have fixed issues with setup.py and the ga4py.ga module, however the ga4py.gain module still has issues. In case you were after just straight GA python bindings and not the gain module, I wanted to make this feature branch available to use sooner than later. Please keep this thread going with additional problems you might be facing with using python 3 and ga4py. Thanks.

Hello, I have just tried using the python 3 branch as our package cf-python is moving to python 3 and we are considering using ga4py to parallelise it. We were wondering if python 3 will be supported with ga4py? I have compiled ga and ga4py in a conda environment, which worked with python 2, but with python 3 I get a segmentation fault when trying to import the ga4py module.

I can report that the branch feature/py3 works for us with python 3.6.5 in simple applications.
No problems so far, but we did'n do a through tests.

@jeffdaily Does GA4py provide support for Python3?

[jeffdaily]

I no longer maintain ga4py. At the time it was developed, it had only been tested against py2. It sounds like @JaroslavHron has a possible solution.

Thanks for the clarification.

@JaroslavHron We need to test GA4py on our library which has dependency on many new libraries that only support python 3. Does GA4py support python3?
