Python 3.7+ support?

[melMass]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I've tried to build nxt-core and nxt-editor with Python 3.9.7 (blender 3.0 release) but it obviously failed

Describe the solution you'd like Can you explain what the issue is with 3.7+? Are there plans to support it?

Thanks

Python 3.9 is coming, hopefully before the end of the year to keep in line with the VFX reference platform. In my testing it seems to just work, but I haven't fully tested the core and editor in 3.9.7. If your really keen to get NXT working in 3.9 you could edit the source of the setup.py, it might just work for you. I haven't looked at Blender 3 yet, we might need to do more for that to work.

Thanks, that's what I did but it failed for a few reasons (also replacing is and is not instances by == and !=) Something related to Shiboken, I can post the full output tomorrow if it can help. What I was wondering is what is the main reason 3.7+ are not supported yet, that might help finding the solution, thanks

A PR is up for Blender 3.0 support, a release will come shortly after that is approved and merged. I found to fix the shiboken2 import errors (in Blender 2.81) I had to install Python 3.7.4 on my machine. After that Blender started to behave. Feels like that is a Blender bug. 🤔
