Don't know about anyone else but this sounds like an interesting

I'll second that.
- I'm interested in learning more about the practical issues of
updating existing code to Python 3. I'm guessing that the case study
would give us some hints about things to be aware of when looking at
PyPNG.
I imagine many people's first experience of Python 3 will begin with
2to3 rather than using Python 3 on a new project.
Referring to David J's comments, I'd be very interested indeed in
hearing the case study as an introduction to our session, then getting
our hands dirty on PyPNG.
Anyway, gets my vote!
Mine too!
Cheers,
Safe
Best wishes, Peter

Hi Everyone,
In exactly a week's time we'll be getting together for
a St. Patrick's Day
Python Northwest coding session!
We've discussed the idea of having a session around
Python 3 and it looks
like there's a fair amount of interest in that. I
reckon we have several
options, including:
- Code dojo style "mini project" starting from scratch
in Python 3.
- Take a set of coding exercises and work through them
in Python 3.
- Running 2to3 on some Python 2 source code and
learning the ins and outs of
achieving a good result. (This could be a open
source library that someone
on the list is familiar with that's unavailable in
Python 3).
Does anyone have thoughts, ideas or resources we could
use?
Recently, John Keyes (a ccc-gistemp volunteer) converted
ccc-gistemp
to Python 3 using 2to3 and some hand edits. It's a
few thousand lines
of code. I could write up a few notes and present
this as a short
case study.
If we wanted to get our hands dirty, we could try
converting PyPNG (my
much neglected pure python PNG library) to Python 3.
Clearly I need
to do it some time, but I've never run 2to3 on it
yet. It's around
1000 lines, so a feasibly small project.
Cheers,
drj
