Bug Description
Python 2.7 is the end of the line for Python 2. As part of Ubuntu, we are trying to eliminate Python 2, at least from the default desktop and eventually from the main archive. As such, we would love to get hplip ported to Python 3, ideally 3.3.
Is there any reason that hplip would need to be bilingual (i.e. both Python 2 and 3) or can we drop Python 2 support when the port is done?

Hi Barry
We are in the process of porting hpilp to python 3. There were certain third party libraries which were not ported to python 3. Further we are looking at supporting both python 2.6 and python 3.3 in same codebase
