Hello, We need to parse and evaluate simple Makefiles from Python and found pymake. Unfortunately, we're a Python3 shop and pymake is demonstrably Python2 only.
I checked the commit log and found Gregory Szorc's name, contacted him and he forwarded me here. My initial instinct was to contribute Python3 support to pymake, but I got the impression from Gregory that Mozilla's long-term plan is to abandon pymake in favor of the now Windows-friendlier GNU Make 4, and that pymake is gradually becoming less maintained. In that light, I feel that there may be no point investing effort in pymake as such, especially since we don't need a full Make implementation. So now I'm considering forking a separate project covering only Makefile parsing and some kind of semantic Makefile model, probably heavily inspired by pymake. Does this make sense, or are there strong pymake supporters who would accept patches to improve packaging and py3k support? Many thanks for any insights, - Kim _______________________________________________ dev-builds mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-builds
