Additional Notes:

What challenges are we facing if we set IronPython3 as the default engine?

I think it's worth splitting the pull request into several,

• changing the pyRevit
• changing dependencies

I think there may be problems with dependencies and changing them, after which there will be problems with compatibility with the pyRevit code.

Also, can you resolve the merge issues?

Update:

I checked the code superficially, there is use of libraries only here, perhaps there will not be so many problems with changing versions.

Nicely done @trgiangv!

Aside for the merge conflicts to resolve, I've pointed out a minor change.

Thank you for your work!

Hi @dosymep

xlrd: just fix the IronPython3 compatible
XlsxWriter: I've got the problem with writing images to the Excel file, update to the latest version solve that
pyrevitLabs.pyRevit.Runtime: Currently, I have no idea to fix this, I can only identify the problem so that someone else may address it. However, rebuilding locally with IronPython3 resolved the problem for me.
