I thought there was a plan to support python3 in 14.04? We are still
using Java at the moment (for the Bitcoin app). I was hoping by the time
the Python version was ready, it would be officially supported and we
could just switch the package over to the Python version.

Using Python over our existing Java implementation would reduce our app
size by around 100x (assuming python3 is pre-installed), and create a
much more reliable, stable and efficient app.
