I can into this thread late. However, my priorities for python bindings would be: * I don't care about anything less then Python 3.5. * Reliable Python 3.6 support important. * Packages should be available from pypi.python.org I have found the current official bindings unreliable with Python 3.x, and tend to cause aborts on exiting and/or fail to save updates. As such, for now I have downgraded to Python 2.7 for now. -- Brian May https://linuxpenguins.xyz/brian/
