Hello everybody, here is a small progress report on porting sage to python3. Good, but still too slow for my taste. The sooner we can catch up with jupyter, the better..
(1) with the latest beta (8.7.b1), there are now exactly 200 files having failing doctests, and a total of 866 failing doctests. Among those, 74 files have 1 failing doctest. (2) the most badly failing file is "explain_pickle" with 70 failing doctests. Hopefully, this will be treated very carefully by Erik M. Bray (3) after that, we still have problems with graph, where generic_graph.py has 50 failing doctests. But good progress was made by David Coudert, (4) then, various small issues, such as sorting sets and dictionaries, etc. Some good python3 changes are blocked by the long awaited ticket https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/23572 *STATEMENT *: I would to advocate that **every developer switch to python3 NOW**. This will help to prevent regressions, as the one that happened recently in elliptic curves. This will also motivate people to fix the part of the code base that they use and that still fails.
