Description Oleg Korsak 2017-06-27 13:54:21 UTC 
According to http://buildbot.net/ - BuildBot supports Python 3.6 now. Please add it to PYTHON_TARGETS.

Yes, it does, so did 0.9.7, but it is a work in progress to get all it's deps updated to support python-3.6.   As it was I was slow to get 0.9.7 in the tree just to get all the deps to support python-3.5.

Feel free to work on the deps in a local overlay. Do the testing and submit bugs for the updates.  The python team and other maintainers would appreciate the help.

FYI, upstream buildbot still regards python 3 as experimental.  Not yet fully debugged.  But that will take more users testing it on python 3.

So for production use, it is still recommended to use python-2.7 until you are satisfied your builders are working correctly with python 3.

The 0.9.8 release requires the latest twisted release which was mostly python 3 fixes brought about by buildbot testing with python 3.
