Package: python-apt
Version: 0.7.10.1
Owner: Julian Andres Klode <jak@debian.org>
Severity: wishlist
This bug is a bug for tracking the progress of the Py3k porting,
which I will work on next week (and also later).
The Python 3 port should happen about the same time as the PEP8 renaming process,
leading to new Python bindings which may look drastically different from the
current ones.
We will generate two builds from the code:
1. The Python 2.X Builds
2. The Python 3.X Builds
For the Python 2.X builds, we will still ship the old functions names, which
will issue a warning on use and call the replacement functions.
For the Python 3.X builds, we will stop shipping these old names, but only ship
the new ones. (We simply 'del' all deprecation helpers when running under python
(>= 3)).
The plan for the py3k branch is:
1. Port the apt_pkg and apt_inst extensions to Python 3
2. Merge it with the pep8-rename branch
3. Call 2to3 on apt/**.py and aptsources/*.py and fix the
remaining issues.
4. Upload to experimental
These are my plans, and nothing official.
