Testing
Very quick way to start testing is using the 0.18dev Py3/At5 builds conveniently added by our friend @sgrogan Background
One of the objectives for 0.18 release is that it will be py3 and Qt5 compatible
This are ongoing efforts to make this happen:
issue #995: Python3 compatibility (Ongoing)
issue #2986: Port from Qt4 to Qt5 (Ongoing)

Lattice2 does work on py3+qt5.
Part-o-magic does not work.

tabbar works, at least for me.

I would suggest a different thread.
A3 compatibility will require much more work.
I'm in the process to improve my compatibility with A3 branch. Some of the new containers are already supported, but this new branch has so many new features that the process will take much longer than Py3 and Qt5 compatibility... :)

Very good initiative @Kunda1! Indeed that's the first thing one notices when starting a py3 session :) several plugins fail to load.

A plug for the PY3 builds:
https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/rele ... g/0.18_pre
https://launchpad.net/~freecad-maintain ... ecad-daily

Anyone who wants to add some words the the text on the releases page or the PPA is Welcome.
Maybe we could even add something to github/FreeCAD/FreeCAD's read.me?
A call for testing, or the like?

EDIT: Where is the best place to discuss issues?
Ultimately it's best to open an issue on the WB author's Github, but as with FreeCAD itself there is a clear benefit to triage in the forum.
The packaging of these PY3/QT5 compatible builds are in their infancy, and bugs could be due to the packaging as likely as to FreeCAD or the add-on's code.

Thanks a lot for your builds!
I have been able to fix my WBs because of them!
And I have also OCC7.3 on Windows Conda builds! :D
Thanks again Chris.
