[Mne_analysis] Python 3 support?

that's great to hear !

it would be great to port it to Python 3. It has not been done yet
because nobody asked for it. The core devs still use 2.7.

If you could start to take a stab at it and send us a pull request, it
would be break.

we'll enable python 3 on travis for continuous integration.

the only (thankully weak) dependency that will not work is Mayavi.

See you on github

Best,
Alex
