 # GPy
 
+# Moving to Python 3
+Work is underway to make GPy run on Python 3. We are not there yet! Changes performed so far have retained compatibility with Python 2.6 and abive.
+
+Work done so far:
+
+* Use 2to3 to fix relative imports
+* use 2to3 to convert print from statement to function. Some advanced uses of print meant that this could not be done in a way that retained compatibility with old versions of Python. The oldest version of Python that is supported by this version is 2.6 due to the required future imports.
