Port Quickly Python 2.7 to Python 3.x

I am not sure if it was there before I upgraded to Ubuntu 12.10 but now is a bin/<programname> Folder inside the quickly-template code. E.g. <programname>/bin/<programname>. It's the entry point from where the quickly app is started!

In this file it's simple to change the python version: Modifying the first line is enough, e.g. change it from

#!/usr/bin/python

to

#!/usr/bin/python3

and your quickly application is running with python 3! Of course, you'll still have to modify all the project files to work with python 3 instead of python 2.7. I went the manual route and fixed all upcoming bugs, however, tools like 2to3 could potentially aid you.

How to start a quickly application without quickly?

Well it's as simple as running python bin/<programname from your application's folder (the same python file you need to modify for python 3 compatibility).
