Getting started

Imagination 2 introduces much improvement over the first major version. Here is the highlight.

• Enhancements:

  • Simplify and streamline the setup.
  • PyPy3 support is coming up soon in this major release (but not for Imagination 2.0).

• Bug:

  • Address possible infinite recursion caused by proxy entities (Issue #24).

• Backward Incompatibility:

  • Imagination 2 drops the support for Python 2.7 and 3.3 for good. If you need to use with Python 2.7, please consider Imagination 1.30+ (pip install install imagination==1.30) or upgrade your code to be compatible to at least Python 3.5.
