Hello, I am trying to update the fvwm-menu-desktop script to work in python 3 while being python 2 compatible, since python 2 is nearing end of life.
I first ran 2to3 on the script and it fixed the majority the syntax differences. But the script's output had some encoding issues due to differences in python 2 and 3 in terms of utf-8. I was able to trace down the issues and get them to work on my system, mostly by bypassing the decoding/encoding function if using python 3 (I think this is okay, because python 3 should support utf-8 in strings by default and not need to encode/decode them). Just seeing if anyone would want to test the script on their setup if they use it to see if it works both with Python 3 and Python 2, and especially with someone who has menus that uses lots of utf-8 characters with accents in them. You can find the changes in the branch js/fvwm-menu-desktop You may have to change the she-bang at the top of the script to #!/usr/bin/python3 if it gets built with python 2. Thanks, jaimos
