[cctbxbb] Is there a schedule for the python3 migration or can cctbx.python already be built to be/use a python3 interpreter?

Cheers,

I'm getting more and more concerned with the state of cctbx and the
impending removal of python2 from quite a lot of major linux
distributions in the near future.

So far I have not managed to find documentation on how to build the
cctbx to then use a python3 interpreter for the cctbx.python script, but
I would really like to have this, as I'd have to check/port my code
that's using cctbx modules (mostly smtbx and xrax) to python3 as well,
so that it does not get obsoleted.

So is it possible to build cctbx as a python3 module by now and if so
how would one be able to do this?

Thanks for your support
Jan
