Location wizard on python 3 seems to be broken

[pmav99]

I compiled grass gis from source using python 3 and the location wizard seems to be broken. More specifically clicking on the "New" location button shows a window with the text:

Unable to read list: dict_items object has no attribute 'sort'

This is rather typical in python2 code which runs with the python3 interpreter. I checked the source code of grass/gui/wxpython/location_wizard/wizard.py and fixed that but then the New button does nothing.

Any suggestions WRT how I could see the full traceback?

BTW, from now on, is python code supposed to be both Python 2 and 3 compatible? Or Python 3 only?

Please try r73972.

It should be compatible with Python 2.7 and 3.

GRASS 7.8 should be Python 2 and 3 compatible. Python3-only release will be probably GRASS 8.0.

I confirm that this is fixed.

BTw, any pointers WRT how could I debug this on my own?

I ran location wizard from layer manager settings menu and I got the errors in gui console.
