Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-1382:
------------------------------------
Ant is not required.
All that releases require is that the top-level build.sh script works. In
particular, that './build.sh dist' puts binary release artifacts in the
top-level dist/ directory, that 'test' runs unit tests, and 'clean' removes
files generated by the other commands.
If ant is replaced with some other build tool then the top-level build.sh
should be updated to invoke the new tool rather than ant. Some languages
implement a lang/*/build.sh script that invokes a language-specific build tool
and then copies source code archive files up to ../../dist.
Also, if the build tools change then the top-level BUILD.txt file should be
updated.

> 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!
