Python 3 Errors

[exhuma]

Even though it is marketed as such, it is not working properly on Python 3. I get:

AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'iteritems'

I will address Python 2/3 compatibility in my fork. I will aim for Python 2.7 an Python 3.3.

Hmmm... after diving into the repo, I discovered the python3 branch. That branch makes the iteritems change right on the first commit. So I am wondering why pip did not install the python 3 version... has it not been published yet? I'm a bit curious, as the web-page states that 1.11.1 should be py3 compatible.

excerpt from our setup.py:

if PY2:
    install_requires = ['dnspython', ]
else:
    install_requires = ['dnspython3', ]

As someone else pointed out, the Python 3 version of dnspython is called dnspython3. Dnspython does a lot of things with strings in Python 2.x where sometimes the strings are text and sometimes they are really what Python 3.x uses bytes for; it was not possible to have a backwards compatible API that worked with both. The are released in parallel with the same version numbers.

I see. I just made the discovery myself :)

Thanks for the reply though... I consider this problem solved.
