Activity Port to Python 3 Checklist #145

Closed quozl closed 6 years ago

quozl commented 6 years ago

We need a "Activity Port to Python 3" checklist , for example;

install the Python 3 Sugar Toolkit for GTK+ 3,
change sugar-activity to sugar-activity3 in activity/activity.info,
change any #! from python2 to python3,
port to Python 3,
run flake8 and fix things,
test.

@quozl, I am working on this issue

Should we standardise the minor and the macro versions of Python 3 ?

Should we standardise the minor and the macro versions of Python 3 ?

I don't know, tell me more? My preference is to work with whatever version of Python 3 is included with latest release of Debian, Fedora, or Ubuntu. Those systems ship a /usr/bin/python3, so there's no real need to refer to minor version.

I looked at the changelogs of the past few releases of Python 3. I agree that this shouldn't cause a problem. I think it would be similar to having different Gtk versions
