    Looks like Autodesk sticks with the old stable python 2.0 instead with 3.0 Reason would be, they have it compatible with other software from Autodesk. However, I wonder when they switch to 3.0. Knowing Autodesk, they might switch when Python 4.0 comes, or it just never happens. :/
    Good to know what python versions they use 🙂

    Well, I think they will stick for 2.7 as long as that is the major version used by big studios. Also most of the modules are still not ported for 3.0, funny thing, the more I started to do MaxPlus and python, the more I started to do C# and using the .NET API 🙂
