Timeline for OEP-7 (Python 3 migration)

[Cliff Dyer]

Hello all, we're going to leave the comment period open for OEP-7: Migrating to Python 3 until Friday afternoon.  Barring any issues, we will move to resolve the OEP on Monday morning.  If you would like to offer input on proposal, please do so at https://github.com/edx/open-edx-proposals/pull/21

Cheers,

Cliff

Awesome!

Question from those of us who use a lot of custom assessments: how will this impact the Python used for write-your-own-grader problems and custom javascript problems? I know most of the syntax will match just fine, but I also know that things like division, string checking, and rounding have some differences in Python 3 that could change grading in specific cases.

If we should start writing Python 3 versions of our assessments, it's better for us to know as early as possible.

That's a good point Colin. I added a comment on the PR:
