[Imdbpy-devel] py2 branch

[H. Turgut Uyar]

Hi,

Sorry for the accidental partial email.

As I've just posted on imdbpy-help, I've created a new branch which
supports py2 and py3 in the same codebase. As far as I'm concerned, the
branch is ready to be merged but I have some reservations.

The changes are relatively small and I'm fairly certain that they don't
include anything that might break py3. But I can't be really sure since
currently a large portion of the code is not covered by the tests.

On the other hand, it might not be a good idea to include two major
changes in the same release (piculet and py2 support). So I'm inclined
to keep this as a separate branch for a while until we can increase our
confidence in it.

Any thoughts?

That's great and will make a lot of users happy, I'm sure. :-)

You're right: it makes sense to release a 6.5 now and later merge
those compatibility changes. I'll try to release it as soon as possible.

Then, I will check the compatibility of the imdbpy2sql.py script with Python 2
and merge it.


Thanks,
