Python 3?

[waveform80]

Now that python-daemon is finally py3 compatible should we move stuff over? It'd certainly clean up the command line client a whole lot (Cmd is an old-style class in py2 which makes sub-classing it a pain, and then there's the whole argparse thing). Not a definite thing, but something to consider sometime prior to 1.0.

Hi @waveform80. Have you switched over to Python 3 as of now?

[waveform80]

I won't be moving the project completely to Python 3 (i.e. I'd like the client library to be accessible from both Python 2 and 3 for the time being), but there are a whole bunch of commits in the recent history for 3.2+ compatibility: 2dfaeda, e4482b6, 6b11255, etc. and I think the master branch is now Python 3.2+ compatible.

At least, the current test suite passes on 3.2+ (though I'll admit the test suite is still far from comprehensive; ignore the coverage stats at the end there - they're only for the modules I'm currently testing which basically excludes everything in the CLI and GUI interfaces!).

In other words, you should be safe using the client library on Python 3 but I make no guarantees about the CLI or GUI interfaces yet!
