Porting to python3

[RogerK]

git commit c1c5dd9bb is supposed to fix the tab issue. On my system I could only test it with Py2&Qt4 because there I don't have the QtWebkit module available.

Finally the new conda build arrived . I can confirm with the latest conda build 16085 on Win10/64 the issue with the language Čeština is fixed and the start page is displayed. Hrvatski is still fine. The label of the tabs looks correct too with Py3QT5. Many thanks Werner for fixing.

I've downloaded the latest release of 0.18-pre (FreeCAD_0.18-15525.1a7d3d9-OSX-x86_64-Qt5-Py3.dmg
) for the MAC and when I switch to the 'OpenSCAD' workbench I get the following error:

And then if a switch back and forth to the 'OpenSCAD' workbench I don't see any of the options only what I've added as a custom option, Clone.

I've just downloaded a new version for MACOS from this thread post - https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 50#p293468 - and now OpenSCAD is working as normal.

Hello all,

I'm not a developer. And a beginning free cad user.

Finally there was a very recent .18 conda py3 pre-release for the Mac. FreeCAD_0.18-16079-OSX-x86_64-conda-Qt5-Py3.dmg

Unfortunately it seems that there only a handful Mac free cad users in the scene looking at the very low beta release rate compared with windows.

The latest .18 conda Mac release crash every time. See screen dump from the console start.

I hope that you can do something with this info. And I hope that the Mac builds frequency goes up and match the windows rate

Keep on the good work,

YES!!

Downloaded the build from dropbox (link in forum message ) And I got a working desktop!!

Super.

Now I can test the functionality with my very little knowledge of free cad I'm just a rookie, learning steady.

Aside from this wiki page, is there any where else I can look to get an overall idea of where the current development is regarding the port to python3?

I ask because I am working on compiling FreeCAD on my gentoo linux machine using qt5 (since qt4 is no longer supported in gentoo), and as a part of that experience I am finding I need it install PySide and Shiboken, but since my FreeCAD version is using python2.7 I'm installing older (unsupported?) versions of these python modules.

Also (and maybe this is because I'm doing something wrong?) I'm finding that the FreeCAD CMake configuration does not find my PySide2 and Shiboken2 installs, seemingly because there does not exist a FindPySide2.cmake nor FindShiboken2.cmake file in the project tree. I was going to spend some time creating these cmake "finders" but I don't want to duplicate any work that has already been done.

Not 100% sure about Gentoo Linux, but if you have all needed build dependencies installed, doing this might suffice:

Code: Select all

-DBUILD_QT5=1 -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE="/usr/bin/python3"

Looks like gentoo is pretty up to date with many of the dependencies: https://github.com/luzpaz/FreeCAD-dependencies/

@Kunda1, you're correct, we have pretty good coverage in gentoo, however my issue is specifically with shiboken and pyside, and as you can see from your link we don't really have that available in gentoo's package management system.

I'm attempting to utilize this in pip via a virtual environment.
