I think I managed to do all the Python 3 conversions but couldn't get linki= ng to work. I recall that getting the prerequisites built was a challenge and found tha= t if I changed anything in any of them I'd have to go back and start buildi= ng them from scratch again. Worse, I seem to recall that for at least one o= f them, probably langkit, I'd have to delete it and reload it from its arch= ive file. Its comforting to find that many of the opinions expressed in this thread a= re similar to my own.
