Hello, I am a bit confused about starting out to write extensions ( initially for my own use ) in Inkscape.
I have some experience writing in javascript, I have also hacked together a couple of scripts for Gimp in Python to carry out batch processing for my own use in the past.
I really need to start learning Python from scratch, but have been put off by the number of broken scripts ( not Inkscape related ) on the internet due to the Python 2/3 apocalypse.
Is it enough to just start learning Python 3, to be able to produce Inkscape 1.0+ extensions ?

Personally, I'd say yes. Given that Python 2 reached end-of-life a year ago it's probably not worth spending a lot of time on Python 2. Furthermore. basic Python 3 code tends to run under Python 2, anyway.

Thanks for any advice.

Thanks for the reply, I'm going to have another look at Python 3+ see what I can learn :)
