But I think mdanalysis dev should consider update the code to compat with Python3. I've been playing with mdanalaysis for a while but it's a bit inconvenient to switch back to Python2 to use mdanalysis. (of course thing's easier with `conda`).\r\n\r\nif mdanalysis does not heavily depend on external libraries that only work with python2, I think it's quick to use mdanalysis for both 2 and 3 version. I did this with my [pytraj] (https://github.com/pytraj/pytraj) with the help from `six.py` module.\r\n\r\nIf you guys want to make compat and need suggestion, I could help. \r\n\r\ncheers.\r\nHai "},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/MDAnalysis/mdanalysis/issues/comments/200348447","html_url":"https://github.com/MDAnalysis/mdanalysis/issues/260#issuecomment-200348447","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/MDAnalysis/mdanalysis/issues/260","id":200348447,"user":{"login":"mnmelo","id":11721337,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/11721337?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/mnmelo","html_url":"https://github.com/mnmelo","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mnmelo/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mnmelo/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mnmelo/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mnmelo/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mnmelo/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mnmelo/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mnmelo/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mnmelo/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mnmelo/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-03-23T13:41:53Z","updated_at":"2016-03-23T13:41:53Z","body":"While testing a python3 installation (`python3.4 setup.py install`), for #798, I get the following:\r\n```\r\n...\r\nExtracting MDAnalysis-0.14.1.dev0-py3.4-linux-x86_64.egg to /scratch/manel/virtualenv/lib/python3.4/site-packages\r\n  File \"/scratch/manel/virtualenv/lib/python3.4/site-packages/MDAnalysis-0.14.1.dev0-py3.4-linux-x86_64.egg/MDAnalysis/analysis/contacts.py\", line 951\r\n    \"\"\"\r\n     ^\r\nSyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 2458-2459: truncated \\uXXXX escape\r\n\r\nAdding MDAnalysis 0.14.1.dev0 to easy-install.pth file\r\n...\r\n```\r\nThe install seems to continue just fine, and I can import `MDAnalysis` at the end of it.
