Python 3 Support?

[mitsest]

Hey,
is this on your to-do list? If not, I could fork it and run 2to3 (and debug) for you

Thanks!

It's diverged quite a bit, but yourlabs/django-cities-light is still a fork, and does have Python 3 support. If anything, that means it's possible.

It may be worth seeing what they've done to avoid problems.

@mitsest Have you started / tried it?

[mitsest]

nope, not yet. And I don't know if I 'll manage to find some time to do it :/
Sorry!

I tried to include Python3 support in my fork.
It seems to work but is not completly tested:

django-cities required 7 files(that's it) it must copied in the django-cities package installation(something like this: site-package\django-cities\cities\data...7 files
now i have another error:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x81 in position 404: character maps to

solved UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x81 in position 404: character!
we have to update cities.py
i have override all line contain open function
-- line 117
-- line 132
-- line 137
i added mode='r', encoding="utf8" (eg: before in line 117 we have >> file = open(os.path.join(self.data_dir, filename), 'wb') after become file = open(os.path.join(self.data_dir, filename), 'wb', mode='r', encoding="utf8"))
It all !

I take a time to manage all django-cities code to make it work on django 1.8 with python 3.4 correctly correctly !

[imposeren]

That's great! Have you made a pull request with your solution?

[mbambafd]

I code a much softer version of django -cities now (for django and + 1.6 . ) . The goal is to make it a close package for location-based applications and once I finish I post we try to validate it all together.
