Python 3 compatibility

[bkabrda]

Hi,
would it be possible to provide Python 3 compatible code? I'm currently looking into what it'd take to transfer Fedora to Python 3 and it seems that will take dnf working on Python 3 (since yum will probably never do that), which also means librepo.
Thanks.

Hi,
I've already started work to support Python3. Currently, there is an experimental support in master (581a3ef).

But unittests are not working properly under Python3 yet, because:

• I am using a Flask module which currently doesn't support Python 3 (because werkzeug python module doesn't fully support Python 3 yet)
• There is an issue in gpgme python3 library (https://bugs.launchpad.net/pygpgme/+bug/1212214)

But I think that this could be fixed soon.

Has there been any progress? Thanks

Hi,
Librepo should be working under Python3 (you could try it by yourself: cmake -DPYTHON_DESIRED="3").

Unittests status for F20:

• python3-flask package is available, so all unittests are working now.
• Unfortunately, most of the test fails on the reported pygpgme issue (https://bugs.launchpad.net/pygpgme/+bug/1212214) - I am investigating this, stay tuned.

Great, thanks for update

Python 3 support is complete - I've fixed unittest issue related to the mentioned pygpgme bug.
