[ase-users] New stable release: ASE-3.10

[Ask Hjorth Larsen]

Hello

It appears that PyGTK will be replaced by PyGI+GTK, and therefore, the
GUI will have to be ported:

  https://wiki.gnome.org/action/show/Projects/PyGObject/IntrospectionPorting

Has anyone (JJ?) thought about this before?

Does that not depend on the environment?  I think there are
distributions where that corresponds to Python3.
