==================== The appy package

The appypod project is a partial and meanwhile obsolete redistribution of Gaetan Delannay's Appy framework <http://appyframework.org/>__ in order to make appy.pod available under Python 3.

This project is no longer needed. To use the author's development version you can now specify the following in your a requirements.txt <https://pip.readthedocs.io/en/1.1/requirements.html>__ file::

-e svn+https://svn.forge.pallavi.be/appy-dev/dev1#egg=appy

See my blog <http://luc.lino-framework.org/blog/2018/0510.html>__ for details.

The remaining text is no longer relevant.

Note that it is only an excerpt of the full Appy framework: the pod subpackage and a few others which are needed for pod: utils, model, ui, http and xml.

Why

Gaetan is advancing with porting his Appy framework to Python 3, and his work is published on forge.pallavi.be <https://forge.pallavi.be/projects/appy-python-3>__, and we can easily check out a copy of the repository::

$ svn checkout https://svn.forge.pallavi.be/appy-python-3

But this repository cannot be installed in a standard way because it has no file setup.py. Gaetan "installs" it by adding into his site-packages a symbolic link to the trunk directory of the repository. We therefore cannot specify it in a requirements.txt <https://pip.readthedocs.io/en/1.1/requirements.html>__ file.

The only benefit of this fork is that you can add it to your :file:requirements.txt file::

git+https://github.com/lino-framework/appypod.git#egg=appy

A clear disadvantage of this fork is that it is behind the original. Gaetan continues to work on appy-python-3, and Luc has no plans to keep up-to-date. Both G and L and working on a solution.

This repository also adds a minimal test suite, but it is also being tested in the test suite of the Lino framework at https://travis-ci.org/lino-framework/book

Manual changes by LS

I added files :file:setup.py, :file:tasks.py, :file:tests/__init__.py and :file:appy/setup_info.py.

I manually fixed the following places which had trivial errors::

File "appy/pod/renderer.py", line 247, in renderXhtml if isinstance(s, unicode): s = s.encode('utf-8') NameError: unicode

File "appy/pod/elements.py", line 170, in evaluate res = res.decode('utf-8') AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'

File "appy/pod/elements.py", line 182, in evaluate res = unicode(res) NameError: name 'unicode' is not defined

File "appy/utils/dates.py", line 66 except DateTime.DateError, de: ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

File "appy/pod/test/Tester.py", line 101 exec 'import %s' % contextPkg ^ SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'exec'
