Python2.7 or Python3.x to run the KittiSeg code

[huaiyanggongzi]

Hi Marvin,

Would you like to let me know which Python version is required to run the KittiSeg code? In this thread, @Bendidi and @lemhell mention that Python 2.7 is supported. My development environment is Python 3.x, so I am curious to know whether I need to re-build the environment.

Many Thanks!

My python3.5 environment gave me trouble, with python 2.7 it worked directly (issue #35).

Hi WPSanberg, thanks for the reply. By the way, my python development is Python 3.4.5. How did you let your Python 3.5 environment to support Python 2.7? Did you use virtualenv?I was trying to create a virtual environment under Python 3.4.5, which support 3.4.5 by default. Are there any setting I should take care when using virtualenv? Thanks.

Hi WPSanberg, one more question, I once read a notes mentioning that tensorflow1.0 GPU version only works under Python 2.7, is that right?

Hi, I am using separate virtual environments for tensorflow with python 3.5 and 2.7, without any special settings or so that I am aware of... I do not know whether tensorflow1.0 GPU is only compatible with python 2.7.

Python 2.7 works. 3.5 does not work right now. There seams to be an issue with commentjson.

Modifing the code to be compatible with python 3.5 should not be a big issue and I am very happy to receive a pull request, if you made it work and tested. In KittiBox, the pull request introducing python 3.5 support only needed to change a couple of lines.
