Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-1382:
------------------------------------
We should perhaps maintain both python2 and python3 versions simultaneously.
If so, this might happen in a lang/py3 directory or somesuch.
This also might provide the opportunity to make changes that would otherwise be
incompatible, but, since this is a new API, wouldn't need to be classified as
such. Issues like AVRO-283 and AVRO-973 come to mind.

> Key: AVRO-1382
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1382
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: python
> Affects Versions: 1.7.5
> Reporter: Christophe Taton

> Hi,
> I'd need to use Avro from Python3, which would require essentially the
> following changes, which I am happy to contribute:
> - rewrite except statements according to new syntax
> - rewrite print statements according to new syntax
> - basestring becomes str
> - update some imports (StringIO becomes io.StringIO, httplib becomes
> http.client)
> This would apparently require branching the python code to maintain a version
> for python2 and a separate version for python3.
> Any thoughts on how to approach this?
> Thanks!
