Porting to Python 3.6

[Bjorn]

Hi all,

I tried to port to python 3.6 using the 2to3 tool. I chose python 3.6 since there were packages for wxpython 4.0.0a3 available in a conda channel.

It seems that the threading module is quite different between the versions. 

there seems to be some custom threading code in pwiki/Utilities.py  which is not evident for me how to port. This code is imported in Wikidatamanager.py and DocPages.py.

Anyone has an idea on how to get around this? 

cheers,

Bjorn

Just links to Github repos if anyone is interested:

Setuptools & Conda packages for Py27 

Setuptools & Conda package for Py36 using wxpython 4 

Both repositories have an anaconda environment file that describe the installed packages.

Hi,

You can always check my old Python 3 port if you want a bit of inspiration.

https://bitbucket.org/xkjq/wikidpad_phoenix

It worked, just bare in mind that I used any cheap and dirty hack I could think of to get it working quickly.

Hi Bjorn, did you overcome that pwiki problem?

Hi Graham, 

No I never got around to spend more time on it. One of my main goals for

working on Wikidpad was to improve how it works on MacOS. I could never get around 

the problems on the macOS Sierra (version 10.12).

There is now a 10.13 high sierra, perhaps it plays nicer with wxpython?

I have two Github repos:

- https://github.com/BjornFJohansson/WikidPad3

- https://github.com/BjornFJohansson/wikidpad_phoenix

The first one is my own attempt at a port and the last one is a copy of 

https://bitbucket.org/xkjq/wikidpad_phoenix

I also saw that there seems to be work towards a 3.4 version:

The official repo has a 3.4 branch updated a month ago:

https://github.com/WikidPad/WikidPad/branches

This might be a better starting point. 

Eventually I would like to create a setuptools package for wikidpad.

This would make things much more flexible and we could benefit from the

conda and wheel packages for the new versions of wxpython. I have one repo containing

a package for 2.7 here https://github.com/BjornFJohansson/WikidPad

cheers,

Bjorn

The experiment-convertToPython3.4 branch is mostly functional.

In fact its probably at the stage for adventurous people to start testing. There is quite a lot that is still broken but I think we've fixed most of the problems I'm aware of.

Just make sure you keep backups of your data if you do decide to go ahead and test it.
