I do not mind much about the actual implementation.

I think that's just the code documentation not the general Blends documentation which is currently in the same source package as blends-dev, right? > Package is tested under Python 3 only. That's the only sensible approach. We should get rid of any Python2 rather sooner than later. Thanks a lot for your effort. Its highly appreciated. Kind regards Andreas.
