python3 porting status
The README mentions that Python3 support is a work in progress; is there a more detailed status description somewhere? What is left to do?
@jelmer I'm not sure what else needs to be done. I have not been actively developing realms lately and maintainers are welcome.
I might contribute a patch or two if I find issues :)
I was also considering packaging realms for Debian, but that may not be the greatest idea if the project is in a dormant state.
PRs welcome, just keep in mind any breaking changes.
I think a deb is a good idea. Ideally realms would be much easier to setup if there existed a deb w/ ppa. I think first the code needs to be stable, secure, and existing features completed.
It fails pretty early for me; i.e. reload isn't available in python3 and used in the third line or so of realms/init.py.
Hmm, that whole bit with setting sys.setdefaultencoding seems dubious to me. Is that just to avoid explicit utf-8 decoding of bytes in other locations? Is the calling of reload just to detect python 3?
That bit should be removed, it was added awhile back in an attempt to fix encoding when printing to the console... The reload is there as a hack to bring the attribute back so it can be set.
Do you know if there is any code relying on that still? I agree it would be nice to remove it, for more than just supporting python 3 reasons.
FWIW I've packaged the missing (Python3) dependencies for realms-wiki in Debian unstable. They should make it out to Ubuntu in a few months.
(Note that Debian no longer accepts new Python2 packages)
