Looks cool, but why python 2.7? That's a big disappointment.

[hesdeadjim]

Python is a very odd choice. I’m sure it could trivially replaced with Lua if one were so inclined.

MOAI does this in Lua already. Maybe the OP just wanted to use a language they liked.

He mentioned he wrote a script in python for blender somewhere. Perhaps that's just what he was familiar with.

I like python, but 2.7 is going to be dead in a year and 3 months. It's time to start implementing your migration to 3.x, not creating new projects running 2.7; that's madness.

[shawn]

You're mistaken. Python 2.7 will still be here in a decade, and people might even still write code against it.

I don't think zealotry or being pushy is productive. Software doesn't rust, and 2.7 is a perfectly fine choice.

[philipov]

Sure. You're also free to pick COBOL as your side project's scripting language, if you want to make absolutely certain no one ever uses it.

More pushiness. This is a Show HN. We're supposed to be offering positive and helpful feedback.

[philipov]

Yes. "Not supporting the current version of python means some people who like and want to use your software will not do so" is constructive actionable feedback.
