- as as conda is two times space as normal build.
- about tree months back there were developers that don't had a py3 build.

Relate this back to that most users don't care. Most don't use python at all.

I can say even if you scream from the roof to use the conda builds it isn't noticed. i download every few weeks a new conda build. i never have read the post about py3. why i scroll down to the downloads as most users.
Yes i download conda builds but i had waited for py3 builds for about 2 years...

In my opinion there is just one way to force users py3 build and that is ... don't update py2 builds
Look on the bright side, we do not get asked what py3 is ;)

The easy-cheaty way.. many issues transferred to 0.19 :oops: (all arch or draft features requests)
But I also realized many of them had been implemented already and I forgot to look them up in the tracker

Code: Select all

'ascii' codec can't decode byte: ordinal not in range(128)
What is happening is Start page is trying to create (and on FreeCAD start use) "Recent files" list. If a file name has a character, like for example ü in it, that will cause issues on Py2 builds.

To reproduce create a new document and save it with name ü.

Ah thanks, I was forgetting about this.. I am rebuilding a py2 version to test, but in the meantime can you try this? It should give a more complete error message:

Code: Select all

from StartPage import StartPage
StartPage.handle()
