# RUNNING FLOWBLADE 2.4

## MLT 6.18 REQUIRED

Flowblade 2.4 is running in Python 3 and requires MLT version that supports Python 3 bindigs. MLT 6.18 is the first version that fully supports all features required by Flowblade.

(MLT 6.16 does provdie Python 3 bindings but do not support one part of API needed to run Flowblade successfully)

## PYTHON 3.7 STRONGLY RECOMMENDED

Python 3 port of Flowblade was developed and tested on Python version 3.7. 

During development it was discovered that Python 3.6 required some Gtk objects to be instantiated with using only named parameters in constructors. We fixed all cases that were shown to cause problems but did not try to fix every possible instance of Gtk object being created in the codebase.

Therefore we strongly recommend Python versions 3.7+ for running Flowlbade.
