Update code to Python 3x (Module wiring issue)

[Ierlandfan]

I am trying to make the code work under Python3 so to make it more futureproof .

Things to change for Python3.

sudo pip3 install Werkzeug==0.16.1 (Otherwise ImportError cached_Property) sudo pip3 install configparser(no capitals) Otherwise ImportError ConfigParser)

Changes in wordclock.py, wordclock_display.py & web_interface.py

wordclock.py: import configparser (Instead of ConfigParser, otherwise Importerror configparser) Line 36 in wordclock.py self.config = configparser.configparser() (Instead of ConfigParser.ConfigParser()

wordclock_display.py: import configparser (Instead of ConfigParser, otherwise Importerror configparser)

web_interface.py import _thread( Instead of thread, otherwise ImportError thread)

Change web_interface.py (From line 139) to avoid syntax error

   if web_interface.app.wclk.developer_mode_active:
            channel_wise = lambda(x): {'red': x.r, 'green': x.g, 'blue': x.b}
        else:
            channel_wise = lambda(x): {'blue': x & 255, 'green': (x >> 8) & 255, 'red': (x >> 16) & 255}

Change to

if web_interface.app.wclk.developer_mode_active:
            channel_wise = lambda x: {'red': x.r, 'green': x.g, 'blue': x.b}
        else:
            channel_wise = lambda x: {'blue': x & 255, 'green': (x >> 8) & 255, 'red': (x >> 16) & 255}

Probably forgot some minor issues but they can be sorted by using Google.

The "only issue" I run into now is the "wiring" module. (ImportError module wiring)

Does anybody knows the equivalent under python3?

Have a look at #175 where i have some issues already tackeled. Tested this in developer mode and should run fine on a clock.

Thanks for that! I works!

Just a question: Do you need to install gtk3 and a window manager like Gnome to make it run in developer mode?

Hi @Ierlandfan

Thanks for triggering the update to python 3. As you saw, @plotaBot started a migration already.... :)

For further discussion I'd therefore refer to #175 and close this issue.

developer mode is intended to run on a linux pc for development (this does actually not require a wordclock at all).

Best, Bernd
