Python3 Compatibility #211
Description
Activity
More info as I am reading mailing lists and other old posts:
planet was superseded by venus (https://github.com/rubys/venus) based on the original planet code. The maintainer has said he is not working on it and it also has no Python3 support but the code is much further along than planet. (rubys/venus#37)
I've put in a request to see if that repo can get reactivated. There are quite a number of branches and pull requests active for it.
It should then be just a matter of moving the configs and templates over for the same functionality. I am not sure about other requirements as this is technically part of the python infrastructure.
REPORT A BUG/PROBLEM
Hi, I want to notify you of a bug/problem that is happening on the Planet.
I am using:
O.S: N/A
Browser: N/A
Platform: N/A
Problem
Python 2 is going away. This code is not compatible with Python3.
Details
This is more of a request for information than a bug. What is the path forward with this code as Python2 goes away? Is there any interest in moving this to 2.7 with compatibility for 3.4+?
Is it worthwhile to migrate this fork of planet over to python3 or is a new platform in the wings to replace this one?
Upon glancing at different parts of this code:
feedparser.py:
I know that feedparser has been maintained and has 10+ years of development over the one included in this repo. It also has python3 support
compat_logging:
Is there any reason the built-in logging won't work?
htmltmpl:
some work has been done in a github fork of the sourceforge repo
planet:
Main project looks dead. Has been rewritten in a number of different languages. The version included seems to have very little code commited to it. There is a later version in the main projects repo that includes TESTS. Perhaps rebase on that?
I would be happy to take some of this on if there is some willingness to accept pull requests. Any thoughts?
Thanks.
