Running in python3.5 raises this exception. Looks related with internal libraries of XML RPC

hey guys, just wanted to let you know that i have my fork of droWMark python3 working.

it autodetects if you got python2 or python3, and uses the binary accordingly.

Hey!

I've been looking your advances and it looks great. I need to spend some time merging all you made but I want to test it first and I don't have enough time for it.

About Python3, my code also checks python2 or python3, but this issue goes further than that. When I opened it WordpressXML-RPC library was broken for python3 and I was unable to make it work. Did you experiment something similar?

I want to thank you for all the work you made. If you can, please, separate it in functionalities and make some pull requests. That way is easier for me to test everything.

All the best.

i had different things hang..., first of all the simple stuff, needed to change the print command to have brackets, which is a p3 must..., thats why i actually needed the additional python-future module, as this enables you to load p3 module specifics in p2.

then there was a little problem with map, i have it currently surrounded by list, but ill have a deeper look into that, as i want this to be cleaner...

then theres no pyfile anymore, so i switched the vimscript of postwordpress to using the normal commandline.

theres more to be done, i.e. running pylint makes my eyes bleed..., but now it runs without breaking over here... if you experience anything, please let me know...

i am planning on splitting up things a bit..., to make it easier to read, so that should help in putting things back into yours..., and i also still got a little problem in the editing, as it looses formatting on the way..., but thats probably a 1-2 hours fix... so no biggy...

[ekaitz-zarraga]

Perfect then. Keep working in your part, making stuff easier to read and I'll check the result and merge it here. Right?

Meanwhile I'll try to take a look to what you have done and maybe propose some changes.

Thank you for your time!

[OliverLeitner]

if i find out how that pull request thing works... never done that so far...

[ekaitz-zarraga]

Good moment to start ;)
