[Rivet] Inquiry about Rivet

Dear Rivet authors,

As part of the BlackHat collaboration and with a current extension
that aims at the computation of two-loop amplitudes, I'm interested in
employing the Rivet toolkit as an analysis framework. In that regard,
there are two specific questions that I have on the current (or
future) release of Rivet:

1) Do you expect to produce a python3 interface at some point? This is
rather important, as I work on a framework based on python3.

2) I have been told, in conversations with Daniel Maitre and Stefan
Hoeche, that a Rivet extension which can properly handle NLO Ntuple
files (to produce correct real-radiation estimations of statistical
uncertainties in computed observables) was in the making.
Nevertheless, I do not find such feature in Rivet 2.6.0. Are you
planning to release this anytime soon?

Thanks a lot for your attention and help.

Sincerely,
Jerry Dormans
