The Python Scripting Package documentation says the support is scheduled to end with Unity 6.1. What is the reason for this? Will there be an alternative solution to use Python in the editor?
I found that the Python Scripting Package is very useful when building tools for the Unity Editor to create assets. For example using open source AI models like coqui text-to-speech. Accessing the vast Python package catalogue really leverages development enormously.
These helpful tools we have developed will eventually deprecate if support is ended.
The Python scripting package brings the Python ecosystem to Unity, making it one of the most important features for tool development. Why has this important feature been abandoned?
I just made a post about why we are deprecating this and some other packages in 6.1
It really comes down to our re-focus on games and the resourcing we have available over the long term.
Never an easy decision to do this, but unfortunately required in this case.
