Port to python3

[Hierosme]

Here the port of pyOS to python3.

I have use 2to3 and two fixe.

• Imp lib is deprecated and replace by importlib with the new syntax
• hashlib require to decode the UTF-8 before anything when get password

Update the README for informe about the python version change and add a exemple about how start and login pyOS

It PR close #4 and #3

Hey, thanks for looking into this. I don’t have any problems with this. The changes looks straightforward enough.

In tinkering with it for a minute, it seems like there are some minor output formatting issues. Though, I am not sure if there are other residual issues (the price you pay for no automated tests, ha!).

I think these stem from slightly different outputs of the print calls from kernel/stream.py:61 (or maybe a bug in programs/ls.py). I didn’t look into it too much though.

Since this whole repo is mostly a hack anyway, I am not sure how much it is worth trying to fix it (or the hundreds of other historical issues).

I have take a look on the formating trouble. Look like the python3 convertion is the root cause.

Unfortunaly to me i not totaly control/understand what to exactelly the code. I understand ls make a thing similar to tabulate python module.

during my test i have optain good result with tabulate. But i suppose if it have been code like that, it's for have no dependency.

the only way i see is to recode it part on python3

[hierosme-nova]

Unfortunally nothing on the code previoslly write, create the output you have share to me.

I have write some code arround for reproduse something like the result you have share

Thanks for your patience. I tinkered with this a bit more, and I think you may have it working again. I am not sure about other parts of the system though, so that will need more checks. I will try to test some things and see if there are other issues cause by this change.

Really though, I think my code here is way too buggy to be used. It seems like the last state I left it in was pretty broken. So I am not sure how much you are gaining by trying to reuse this.

No trouble, if it take you too much time i understand.

I Target MicroPython, and you work by it design is very close as my target. At frist i´ll focus you Stream to sys.stdXX system follow by you Syscall system.

I need a foctional model that is why i would like a pyOS it work.

I confess, you actual work can't be ported like that to MicroPython, But from my point you syscall system is clearly the way.

Here where i try: Gitlab: https://gitlab.com/Tuuux/galaxie-shell/-/tree/develop Wokwi: (Click play, then Ctrl + D to restart the board) https://wokwi.com/projects/312818372713644610

You'll directlly understand why pyOS must survive
