Commenting post 308: Unfortunately the latest version that worked was 2.49.. When they made the big switch to 2.50 they used exclusively python3. Which I understand, because 2.50 was a big change, and they didn't want to do all the work again later. I already had a look at porting freecad to py3, but it's a huge work, many things have to change internally (all strings are unicode, etc...)
