Hi all, The Python3 branch now contains a quite-incomplete port of Meld to Python 3. It should Mostly Work (tm), but chances are excellent that using it for more than five minutes will find problems.
The major issue stopping this being merged to master (other than lots of testing) is that filename handling is known broken. Our unicode filename handling wasn't previously the best, but we tried to stay aware of bytewise handling of filenames and being careful with maintaining a separation between the on-disk filename and the display name. Python 3 now strongly encourages people to believe that filename are unicode and GTK+/gio's interaction with Python basically enforces this to be the case [1]. Chances that this new assumption has broken unicode file handling in some places is very, very high. Bug reports for specific breakage are welcome, but please just don't expect everything to work just yet. cheers, Kai [1] ...making it impossible to correctly handle files with bad filesystem encodings, among other issues. Woo. _______________________________________________ meld-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/meld-list
