Does the f5-sdk work with Python3?

I believe I read somewhere that f5-sdk only works with Python2, can someone verify for this for me? Thanks!

  • The library is not Python3 compliant. It's Python 2.6 and 2.7 compliant.

     

    Although it's not altogether as cut and dried as that. Check out this issue on Github:

    I've managed to get away with using Python3 in some cases but in other cases it borks.

     

    Best to stick to 2.6 or 2.7 for now although I suspect the pythonclock (https://pythonclock.org) may add urgency to any moves to port a compliant version as the countdown continues.
