[ase-users] Python 2+3 compatible ase-gui

[Jens Jørgen Mortensen]

Hi!

I have finally managed to port ase-gui to Python 3.  I'd like some 
feedback before we make an ase-3.13 release.

It's a slightly trimmed down version of ase-gui with some 
features/functionality removed.  So, if you feel something important is 
missing, then please let me know.

Install the development version and then give it a try.  Please try with 
both Python 2 and 3.  You can do that like this:

     $ python2 -m ase.gui ...
     $ python3 -m ase.gui ...

Make sure that you are actually testing the new GUI:  Click Help -> 
About, and you should see "ASE-GUI (work in progress)".

You can clone the code or download a development-snapshot as described here:

https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/ase/install.html#installation-from-source

or get it from PyPI:

     $ pip install ase==3.13.0b1 --user
     $ pip3 install ase==3.13.0b1 --user

Please report any bugs you find.
