<p>Dear Ryan,</p>
<p>Thanks for your reply. I am using FLASH4.6.2 and I believe this
is the latest version. I still need to replace <i>print msg</i>
to <i>print(msg)</i>, which is still in python2.7. Fixing the
symbol with "!=" then many more issues exist as you suggested.
Such as <br>

line 204, in set<br>
if type(value) != types.StringType:<br>
AttributeError: module 'types' has no attribute 'StringType'</font></p>
<p>Then I try using python2.7. and return the following error</p>
<p><font size="-2">Writing
/home/ong/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/flash-0.1.egg-info<br>

<p>Is there any update from FLASH's python tools to python3? I am
using jupyter notebook which run on python3.8.8. Switching from
one version to another would be quite troublesome. <br>
</p>
<p>In addition, I am not clear what the following lines in the
user's guide do and how it relate to the simulation<br>

</div>
<div>The easiest solutions are:</div>
<div>1. Use the latest FLASH, where they updated the python code
to be compatible with python3</div>
<div>2. Use python2 if you need to use an old version of FLASH
(like me :))</div>

<div>Or, you can replace "<>" with "!=", although there

<p>I am using python3.8. What can I do to fix this or use it
with new python? Thanks. <i><br>
