    Hi, it's many years later, and as I close this old resolved ticket, I'm excited to tell you that https://github.com/taskcoach/taskcoach now has updated Python3 Task Coach codebase! Packages are available for some common Linux systems and we can add more.

    We'd love to have you test the updated program

    Cheers
