"... better support for Python 3". Why does VB need to better support a specific executable, namely python 3? Anyone have more technical details on this?

- amelius 10y agoAfter searching a bit, there seems to be a Python API for controlling Virtual Box. Perhaps that is what is meant here.
- vetinari 10y agoVirtualBox supports scripting using python; for that, it provides a python module. Just like any other python library, it needs to specifically support py3 syntax, or errors may happen.
- ygra 10y agoVirtualBox offers a Python API (among others): http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch11.html http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch11.html.
- kelvin0 10y agoOK, Python for using their VM's API. Yes, that rings a bell. However, from the notes it seemed like something they modified in the VM to better support python with the guest OS ... did not make sense until. Thanks!
