 # makehuman_stable_python3
 
-This is now a near viable to backport of the current MakeHuman 1.1.1 stable branch to a python3 dependency.  The port 
-includes support for the pyside binding to QT4.  This late addition recognizes the end of availability of the pyQt4 Python binding from Riverbank, and it allows testing proceed.  However, the intention is ultimately to move to QT5 support as final bugs are fixed.
