Twilio library for Python 3?

[santosh]

Nowadays it is encouraged to develop in Python 3. The library seems to be for Python 2.x version.

How can I install this library in a system running Python 3?

[kyleconroy]

twilio-python is both Python 2 and Python 3 compatible. You can see from this Travis CI job that library passes all its tests when running on Python 3.2

There should be instructions for Python 3 in README file.

I guess I am a little curious - what would you like to see in the readme?
Did you run into an issue using the library with python3?

@kevinburke Yes. Even I can't install it by replicating that Travis CI job, and I don't want to go back to Python 2.x.

[kevinburke]

Ok. What happens when you run pip install twilio and then "python
send_sms.py"?

For me, the nosetests fail for 25 of 25 tests.

It would be easy if a separate library for Python 3 is made; without
the need of virtualenv and pip.

Python 3 is future!

Ok. What is the console output of nose?

@santosh Hi, the setup.py is python 2 and 3 compliant so if your system is running under python 3, the only thing you need to do is the standard:

% python setup.py install 

Basically there is nothing much to document, if you are under python 3 it will install and run under it.

[santosh]

@kevinburke Here it is.

@gbin That was the first thing after I cloned this repository. But the trackback says my system (python3) has no modules named setuptools and I can't install it through pip because pip will install it for python2.x.
And there is nothing like pip3.

[kevinburke]

Hi Santosh,
Thank you for adding the helper log - it looks like there is a bug on our side.

You can fix the problem you have right now by also running:

pip install twilio six

This will install the six library and fix all of the ImportError messages.

[kevinburke]

alternately you can now run:

pip install --upgrade twilio

which should download version 3.4.3 and fix your problem.

[santosh]

@kevinburke Once again, pip will install six for python2.x on my system; not for python3.

[kevinburke]

Hi Santosh,
Can you be more clear about what you mean when you say pip will fail to install six with python3? What command did you run to try and install six, and what was the output?

You may need to use a different executable command to run pip and virtualenv for python2 and python3. The pip command is tied to a specific Python version, so pip may be tied to Python 2.7 and not install the library for any other Python versions. I'm not sure exactly, but you may need to type something like pip-3.2 install six. Some machines have instructions built in for switching between Python versions, although I'm only familiar with the macintosh ones. Which type of machine are you using?
