Schedule for support of Python 3 and other GUI frameworks on Windows platform, is not available at this time.

This makes me a bit sad, but it's completely understandable taking in consideration the mammoth task that is to maintain this project.
Is Python3 support for latest CEF releases on all platforms in the roadmap?

[cztomczak]

@carlosperate Yes, see the Python 3 support GH project: https://github.com/cztomczak/cefpython/projects/1

Awesome, thanks @cztomczak!

hi,could you tell me the release time of latest v55+ windows?

[cztomczak]

Initial Windows support for v55+ added in commits 7491576 and 60ebfb8. There are still unresolved issues with unittests and examples. Tkinter example launches fine, however it crashes sometimes with error: Fatal Python error: PyEval_RestoreThread: NULL tstate. Unit tests fail during browser creation (added option for debugging: python _test_runner.py --debug). The hello world example also crashes.

Issues in unit tests and in examples resolved in commit 97712b3. Tested the following examples: hello_world.py, wxpython.py and unit tests. All works great now. I will still do some more testing to make sure everything works good and will make a release tomorrow (Python 2.7 32-bit only for now).

All examples do run fine on Windows now after fixes in commit 9bd3acc. Added run_examples.py tool to run all examples that can be run on current configuration.
