Ren'py does have a Python 3 compatibility layer, but I haven't gone
around to doing a pure Python 3 build yet. I imagine it could also be
used with Tauthon[1], which was suggested to be used as python2
replacement in places where projects can't trivially be ported to the
newer python 3 stuffs.
Furthermore, Ren'py 8 will use Python 3 as a base. I don't know if
it'll be backwards compatible with Ren'py 7 then – probably not. If
not, moving Ren'py 7 to Guix-Past sounds like a good idea.
I must admit, I haven't been following the Python 2 removal plan too
closely. Is it already time to move working leaf packages?
Cheers,
Leo
