I'd like to ask for clarification on Python 3 support status, from the python code point of view. From what I see here, and in the ticket (https://github.com/FreeRADIUS/freeradius-server/issues/2351), rlm_python3 appears to work alright for those who have tested it.
Yes. That module was just added last year.
On the other hand, https://freeradius.org/modules/?mod=rlm_python3 lists rlm_python3 as deprecated, although @alandekok does suggest using it on Freeradius 3.x on this mailing list this month.
It's listed that way because rlm_python3 is not in v4. Instead, we just use rlm_python there.
If one were to write python code, in Python 3, right now, should one target the stable Freeradius 3.x branch on rlm_python3, or Freeradius master/4.x branch with rlm_python compiled against Python 3?
Don't use the master branch. It's still in major development. Use v3, and rlm_python3. It's fine. Alan DeKok.
