Hi Todd, I just wanted to circle back to you about CAVE and Python2/3 dependencies. Since we last talked, we have put out several releases of our Beta of version 20.3.2. This version of AWIPS is fully migrated to Python3 and no longer has any dependencies on Python2. I'm not sure what OS you're running, but we do have installation options available for Windows, macOS, RHEL-flavored Linux (CentOS7), and a Virtual Machine. We also have an installation option for EDEX as of this latest release, if you are running your own server. I just thought I'd send an update in case that might be useful to you. You can see our latest release notes from this morning, and Beta download instructions here: https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/blogs/news/entry/unidata-awips-20-3-2 Thanks! --Shay Carter She/Her/Hers AWIPS Software Engineer UCAR - Unidata If you're interested, please feel free to fill out a survey about the support you receive: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeDIkdk8qUMgq8ZdM4jhP-ubJPUOr-mJMQgxInwoAWoV5QcOw/viewform Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: ZBG-661267 Department: Support AWIPS Priority: Normal Status: On Hold =================== NOTE: All email exchanges with Unidata User Support are recorded in the Unidata inquiry tracking system and then made publicly available through the web.
