    Is it possible to use PyCharm with Python 3.5 to edit Python Scripts for C4D?

      hi, everyone.
      I'm trying to create my own Python Scripts for C4D.

      but I find out that the python generator in C4D R20.059 is still using python 2.7.
      if is there a possible way to update python generator in C4D R20.059 to python 3.5?

      and I really hope edit in PyCharm is available. what should I do?

      thank you for helping.

        Hi temple, thanks for reaching out us.

        With regard to your question, I confirm that it's not possible to switch to Python 3.x since R20 is compiled against Python 2.x.

        Best, Riccardo
