(The app currently doesn't run due to permission issues)\n- Migrating to Python 3 (Scott Heggen made the migration to python 3 using local setup in [this PR](https://github.com/BCStudentSoftwareDevTeam/urcpp/pull/190)) within the docker container.\n\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/hoerstl","@type":"Person","name":"hoerstl"},"datePublished":"2025-01-30T15:29:07.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/191/urcpp/issues/191"}
