Description Bohuslav "Slavek" Kabrda 2013-07-17 11:39:45 UTC

Hi guys, have you considered supporting Python 3 with Samba? Any plans/work already started? Any way I could help?
Thanks!

Comment 1 Alexander Bokovoy 2013-07-18 15:54:48 UTC

Yes, we consider it. Please look at https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2013-May/092648.html and onward for the discussion.

Any help reviewing our Python code for Python3/2 co-existence would be appreciated. You can attach patches here, if you want.

Majority of the code that needs real work is not Python code, though. We have auto-generated C code and auto-generated Python bindings to that code, which also includes Unicode string handling along with byte-level strings (blobs). These bindings have C source that is used as a template and that template needs to be converted.

port pytalloc to python 3

I've been working on porting pytalloc to python 3. I'm not sure what kind of coding style you prefer — I will gladly rewrite the patch with usage of macros if needed.
Also I haven't updated waf configuration.

Petr Viktorin's patches made their way to master so IIUC at least pyldb has been ported to python 3.
