Python3 Support

Issue Report

Description

When using omxplayer-wrapper with Python 3 I get the error:
No module named 'omxplayer'

I saw a previous (closed) thread that suggested:
sudo apt-get install python3-dbus

But it makes no difference for me, I still get the same error.

Problem reproduction

git clone https://github.com/willprice/python-omxplayer-wrapper
sudo apt-get install python-dbus
sudo apt-get install python3-dbus
cd python-omxplayer-wrapper
sudo python setup.py install
reboot

Then load and run the sample in Python 3.

Environment details

Raspbian on Pi2.

TIA.

Python 3 isn't officially supported, although some people have fiddled with a few lines and got it to work, you're invoking setup.py with python which on raspbian is python2 not python3, so you should be running python3 setup.py install instead.

Have a look at #66 for more details

Thanks, took a while as a noob to decipher #66, full sequence is:

git clone https://github.com/willprice/python-omxplayer-wrapper
sudo apt-get install python3-dbus
cd python-omxplayer-wrapper
sudo nano omxplayer/player.py

search for import urlparse change to
import urllib.parse

search for def _setup_omxplayer_process change second line to
source_url = urllib.parse.urlsplit(source)

search for return long(self._get_properties_interface().Duration())
replace long( ) with int( )

sudo python3 setup.py install

Cool, thanks for providing the steps in sequence for someone else looking how to do this. When I eventually get around to making this compatible for both py2 and py3 I'll refer back to this.

Python 3 support has been implemented in https://github.com/willprice/python-omxplayer-wrapper/tree/python_2_3_support

I need beta testers to see whether this works with their applications. Ideally please also run the smoke tests and report any issues.

If problems arise on py3 and not py2 or vica versa, please do file an issue.
