needs code ported to Python3 #85

Closed androclus closed 2 years ago

androclus commented 4 years ago

Python 2 is nearing end-of-life; many Linux OS's are abandoning P2-based code, including the several dependencies that key-mon requires (python-xlib, pygtk, python-xml, etc.)

key-mon was/is the best screen key/mouse visualizer out there. For the utility to survive, and to help any/everyone who loves this program and uses it, it BADLY needs to be ported to Python 3.

I do not program in Python, and have a full plate, or I would take the port on as a project.

I'm looking, there are some support libraries like I need to change as well, could be a while.

I tried to fix this in #87 , which may need some testing and update to documentation & packaging

I just tested on 11a4d19 commit and everything seems working except one thing:

There is clicking issue if the option "highly visible click" be active.
If some keys like space or tab be pressed, some gap is added between keys and it remains there.

I have also noticed these warnings if I run key-mon in terminal:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/keymon/settings.py", line 142, in _combo_changed
    self._update_option(option, val, str_val)

    setattr(self.settings.options, option, str_val)

    setattr(self, attr, float(val))
ValueError: could not convert string to float: ''

I couldn't figure out in what circumstances it happens!

I seems there is some dependency problems. I was able to successfully run the latest commit by installing PyGObject, pycairo and python3-xlib from pip (not the debian repo) in virtualenv and everything seems stable (not fully tested)

It's all working now with Python3 thanks for everyone's help.
