Sorry, my words weren’t very precise.  I don’t know of any scripts that aren’t 
working with 2.7.

I jus wanted to make the point that since the LilyPond binaries ship with an 
earlier python version and that GUB still uses 2.4 (as mentioned earlier in the 
thread) that getting those things successfully upgraded to python 2.7 would be 
the first step to take (regardless of how we handle the transition to python 3).

(Of course, you’re right that the transition to guile 2 is a much higher 
priority, but it seems we could use any help we can get wherever we can get it.)
