Move to Python3 #174

Open ppmim opened 6 years ago

ppmim commented 6 years ago

Has anyone tried to move Chimera to Python3 or any experience about that ?

tribeiro commented 6 years ago

Hi @ppmim , we have had some conversation about it but, right now, no plan has been devised to do that. But that is definitively something we should look into in the near future.

wschoenell commented 6 years ago

Moving to python 3 should not be too hard. What would be hard is to move from Pyro3 to Pyro4, as the API changed a lot.

Hello. I already did some porting work here:

https://github.com/orsa-unige/chimera

I stopped ad Pyro4 URIs because I am not familiar with the package.

wschoenell commented 4 years ago

Thank you very much for starting this @vertighel! We've been delaying this change for years now, as all maintainers are working on other telescope projects right now. Every time that I look at Pyro4 and alternatives for it, like gRPC, I never decide which is the best way to go too. hehe

vertighel commented 4 years ago

It is a pleasure to help if I can. I would like to configure and use it together with chimera-sbig and chimera-astelco plugins.

Unfortunately I am unable to go over the point I did, but you can branch it to start from there if you want. I think is a good starting point :)

vertighel commented 3 years ago

Are there news about python3 support path?

wschoenell commented 3 years ago

hi, no news... I started to think about how to do that on my winter vacations, but that didn't go much further than thinking :-)

vertighel commented 3 years ago

Thanks for the answer! If you need help, compatibly with my knowledge, please tell me. As I told you, I stuck with Pyro4
