It was recently brought to our attention that the text-mode and graphical installer used in the well-known Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Fedora Linux operating systems will be soon ported to the Python 3 programming language.

Python 3 will be the default Python implementation in the upcoming Fedora 23 operating system, due for release sometime around November 2015. Until then, the Red Hat Installer team has a lot of work before them to port Anaconda to Python 3 but also keep it backwards compatible with Python 2.

Anaconda is being known as the biggest and most complex piece of software written in the Python dynamic programming language, which means that it will be a lot of work porting it to Python 3 and still keep in compatible with Python 2, so the Red Hat installer team needs your help to test the code and report bugs.
