qdb on Python3 needs to use a byte-string for the multiprocessing authkey #18

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I ran qdb.py through 2to3 and then tried to use the set_trace() function in 
Python 3.2.3. When I do that, however, I get this:

---------------------------------------

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 11, in <module>
    foo()
  File "test.py", line 5, in foo
    qdb.set_trace()
  File "/workspace/install/gerrit/rms/products/dotrox/MAIN/linux-amd64-gcc_4_4-release/lib/python3.2/site-packages/qdb.py", line 925, in set_trace
    listener = Listener(address, authkey=authkey)
  File "/workspace/install/gerrit/rms/products/dotrox/MAIN/linux-amd64-gcc_4_4-release/lib/python3.2/multiprocessing/connection.py", line 135, in __init__
    raise TypeError('authkey should be a byte string')
TypeError: authkey should be a byte string

-------------------------------

As a quick patch, I went through and changed all instances of 'secret password' 
to b'secret password', and this made the problem go away. That's probably not a 
complete fix, but it let me move ahead. (To which I'd should add that qdb 
seemed to work flawlessly afterwards...awesome!)
