Support for python3

[hawaiik]

As platformio dropped support for python 2 & 3.5 how can we update deviot to python 3?https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/core/migration.html#drop-support-for-python-2-and-3-5

Any suggestions?

I also got this message and an error when I tried to compile a cpp file. I removed the Deviot plugin and tried to reinstall the plugin. Then I saw a message telling me that /usr/local/opt/python/bin/python3.7 couldn't be found.
I'm on a mac, so I did the following to install python3.7:

brew install [email protected]

This installs python to /usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin/python3. Then to make Deviot find python 3.7, I just made a symlink at the path from the error message:

mkdir -p /usr/local/opt/python/bin
ln -s /usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin/python3 /usr/local/opt/python/bin/python3.7

After doing all that I installed Deviot again and now things seem to be working fine. Hope this helps.

Really? so you are using global enviroment? I remember deviot had a way to change this also

[tablatronix]

deviot settings
env_path
symlink

and

python.txt

There is also ini flags build_dir etc that is used to determine if using st package penv

[tablatronix]

ok well I could not get those to work, if deviot penv is already installed its a pita..

Easiest thing for me was to

OSX
Remove all platformio
Install platformio CLI ( via pio instruction scripts )
Brew install python ( might not be needed as pio penv has it )

Remove deviot penv, remove deviot.ini
restart, let deviot install check env paths and python on its own and use global penv

We will see if it has issues.

I know it's been months, but for anyone still wondering (who hasn't given up 😛) my guide above should help you get things working again.
