[EXTERNAL]-Re: [Bots Open Source EDI Translator] Newer Version that will support python 3

John Freeman <jfre...@petra.com>: Feb 13 03:28PM I would like to help by testing.   Are there docs on how to install under python3.       John Freeman   Lead TP Analyst/IT Programmer   Petra Industries, LLC   405 216-2100, ext. 5607   ________________________________ From: bots...@googlegroups.com <bots...@googlegroups.com> on behalf of Wojciech Kazimierczak <w.kazim...@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2025 12:54 PM To: Bots Open Source EDI Translator <bots...@googlegroups.com> Subject: [EXTERNAL]-Re: [Bots Open Source EDI Translator] Newer Version that will support python 3   Hi all,   In coordination with Klaas and Ludovic and with Henk-Jan's consent, we've collected all the information about current state of Bots on this new webpage: https://bots-edi.org<https://bots-edi.org/>. Your comments are welcome.   Our intention is to keep the original Bots (Python 2) as "frozen" and use the fork created by Ludovic, which is fully ported to Python 3 since some time now. This version is over 700 commits ahead of the original version, but according to Ludovic the core has been kept mostly unchanged and most of the features is in the user interface.   We need now volunteers - current Bots users - who would like to try to use this version. With more common experience we'll be able to create together an updated documentation for this version. So please, join us!   Best regards, Wojtek     czwartek, 30 stycznia 2025 o 17:06:09 UTC+1 lenfinle...@gmail.com napisał(a): Hi all,   Has there been any more progress on this project?   Regards, Len   On Wed, Mar 20, 2024 at 5:11 PM Klaas Feenstra <kl...@feenstra.es> wrote: Hi Tom and Zeik,   Sorry for the late reply. We had a meeting with only a few persons. After the meeting we had some more contact to see what we could do for picking this project up again. Some investigation is done by existing forks and we also got files from Henk Jan as a starting point. I got a fork of Ludovic Watteaux working on a linux machine. Maybe we could fork this one and start doing testing and bug fixing from that version. I got it working with Django 5.0   This is what I did. Install virtual env. Install django with pip download the latest version from gitlab and tar -xzvf bots-master.tar.gz python setup.py install and then I could start the bots-webserver from the bin folder.   I also could get it working with postgres, but here I had to make some modifications, because of the new database engine   [image.png]   For this, I needed to change the source code as for Django 5 we have another postgres Database engine. Differences from psycopg2 - psycopg 3.2.0.dev1 documentation<https://www.psycopg.org/psycopg3/docs/basic/from_pg2.html#with-connection>   I also tried to get this working on Apache, but at this point it is not working yet, I am thinking to put a nginx as reverse proxy server and redirect to the 8080 port of Cherrypy webserver and then use let's encrypt, so we have an https site. Here is the link. bots-ediint / bots · GitLab<https://gitlab.com/bots-ediint/bots> What is pending.... testing testing... testing.., but maybe this could be a start. What we need is that we get a new project on github and someone who can approve the pull requests and persons who can update the documentation page.   El mar, 23 ene 2024 a las 14:49, Tom Westrick (<twes...@mediagrid.us>) escribió: Klaas,   Just wondering how the meeting went last Monday.

Whilst anyone could just fork the project, I think it would be more ideal to have a united front on development and keep the "official" supported version under your direction. To this end, I am happy to help with development, funding and testing newer versions.

Dezember 2023 um 12:19:26 UTC+1: Hello all,   I want to join the rest of the group in saying that Bots is an amazing software and it truly stands out. Thank you so much, Henk-Jan, for always being here and sharing your knowledge in this discussion group! I really want to see this project continue to thrive. I believe that EDI will remain irreplaceable in the near future (rather complemented), and Bots has an important role in making it accessible to smaller or more agile companies, just like Wassily mentioned.   I would love to contribute to the project, whether it's through testing or funding certain developments. Henk-Jan, you've probably already assessed the effort required. Is there any way we can move forward? It would be extremely challenging to make progress without your guidance and assistance.   Best regards, Wojtek     śr., 13 gru 2023 o 10:19 Wassily <wassilio...@gmail.com> napisał(a): Hi Henk Jan and all   @Henk Jan: thanks for the amazing software you had made available for all of us to use over decades now and making the entry barrier really low for SME to get started with EDI.   @all: Generally, looking at forks from the library on github, there are many efforts done by multiple people to make it python 3 compatible and one fork even goes to Django 4.2. But historically, these forks were deemed hostile and unwanted. Therefore it would be great to understand from Henk Jan what his position is generally towards forks of the setup. First of all, there is a community here, and knowledge in this particular google group that I believe nobody of the community wants to miss.   "My perfect world" view is, that I would appreciate if there was the support from Henk Jan in the form of "acknowledgement" that there would be a maintained fork out there and if someone does point out that there is a bots, let's say version 4, and someone finds this newsgroup, that questions would not just be waved off with "there is no bots 4", but maybe telling them to go to that particular fork. I think as long as BOTS 3.2 is "official" and supported here, there should be a constructive way of a co-existence.   sghebuz schrieb am Dienstag, 12. Dezember 2023 um 15:46:54 UTC+1: Hello everyone, is there a reason why there won't be a python 3 version? I think that the current version of bots is quite perfect, it handles hundreds of translations per day without any issue but being stuck on python 2.6 it's a security concern. Could we sponsor its update to python 3? Maybe some other company is interested in founding it? we could start with 2000€ thanks Andrea     On Fri, Dec 8, 2023 at 5:12 PM Brent Holtsclaw <bre...@partnercom.net> wrote: Sorry to hear that you will not be releasing a newer version.
