I'm slightly worried by: Sometimes 2to3 will find a place in your source code that needs to be changed, but 2to3 cannot fix automatically. In this case, 2to3 will print a warning beneath the diff for a file. You should address the warning in order to have compliant 3.x code. and: Note The lib2to3 API should be considered unstable and may change drastically in the future. I'm copying in the security team; could you have a look at the thread starting at http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2010/08/msg01107.html and pass any comments? Thanks, Neil -- <+Mulligan> Your folk tale is inconsistent and confusing. <+Mulligan> I shall round up your local population and tell them good CHRISTIAN folk tales. <+Mulligan> Then build churches on all your pagan temples in order to stamp out your heathen idolatry. <@Ulthar> How about I give you the finger, and you give me my temples back? <+Mulligan> Tell me Mr Ulthar. How will you gather faith.... when you have no followers? * Mulligan makes a gesture and converts everyone to Christianity. <+Mulligan> Wow. I think we just summarised 800 years of history in about six sentences. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
