[matplotlib-devel] Fwd: [Numpy-discussion] ANN: Numpy runs on Python 3
In case anyone working on mpl development missed it, this may be of interest. I think it's time for us to work seriously on supporting python 2 and 3 in the same codebase, following numpy's lead. I hope we can make the transition to git first--and soon.

This work is scheduled to be included in the next releases 1.5 and 2.0. Porting Scipy to work on Python 3 has proved to be much less work, and will probably be finished soon. (Ongoing work is here: http:// github.com/cournape/scipy3/commits/py3k , http://github.com/pv/scipy-work/ commits/py3k ) For those who are interested in already starting to port their stuff to Python 3, you can use Numpy's SVN trunk version. Grab it: svn clone http://svn.scipy.org/svn/numpy/trunk/ numpy cd numpy python3 setup.py build An important point is that supporting Python 3 and Python 2 in the same code base can be done, and it is not very difficult either. It is also much preferable from the maintenance POV to creating separate branches for Python 2 and 3. We attempted to log changes needed in Numpy at http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/browser/trunk/doc/Py3K.txt which may be useful (although not completely up-to-date) information for people wanting to do make the same transition in their own code.

I've looked at our code base ever so briefly in terms of getting setup.py to run. I just committed some changes that work cleanly on both versions and have some more for setupext.py. My problem is that I can't find a way to make setupext.py run clean on both, specifically check_for_tk(). Here we catch the actual exception object and use it to print an error message. If anyone has a suggestion (not print the error? Look at the exception stack?), I'd love to be able to commit these so that at least setup.py runs. Has anyone looked to see if our other dependencies are ported yet: dateutil, pytz? What about the GUI toolkits? PyQt4 was the only one I found last I looked.

With Python 3.1, I get a compile failure with src/ft2font.cpp, which isn't surprising. I'm a little surprised ft2font is failing, since it is a CXX module, and I recently upgraded our CXX from v5 to v6 mainly because v6 is supposed to be python3 compliant, and I thought this would speed us on our way to python3 support. I thought we would have more problems on our hand-rolled extensions.,,, Yeah, I remember seeing that. Is there some missing magic to get it to turn on 3.1 support?
