Hello,

With python-2 being EOL many linux distributions are starting to remove
python2 bindings. This will end up affecting vmd-1.9.3 as it needs numpy.

Looking to:
https://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/vmd-new/devel.html
http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/cvs2html/vmdlog/cvschangelogbuilder_vmd.html

It seems progress is being made to port to python3, but looking into the
configure file of vmd-1.9.4a43 it seems it is still relying on python2.

I would then like to know if it is because of needing to update to a newer
version... or if configure is not yet updated or...

Thanks a lot for the information :-)
