Re: [Sugar-devel] Port to python3

[Saumya Mishra]

Hi Shivam,

Please go through this guide
https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-docs/blob/master/src/python-porting-guide.md
for any doubts related to Port of activity to Python 3. You can check the
pull request in GitHub repositories to check whether some work is remained
or not related to the port. Also, you can check old commits to see if the
activity is ported earlier to Python 3.

Saumya Mishra

Hi Shivam,

To make changes in Sugar- Live Build, Please go through
https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/blob/master/docs/development-environment.md#sugar-live-build,
which states that

*changes to Sugar or the toolkits can be done by editing files in the
> module source trees in /usr/src, followed by per-module install steps
> <https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-live-build/blob/master/src/config/hooks/normal/0900-sugar.hook.chroot#L42>
>  for

> <https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-toolkit-gtk3/issues/442> for details.*


After making and testing your changes you can make a pull request in
the respective repository.

Thanks
Saumya Mishra

[Saumya Mishra]

I think it is a great idea. Sugar labs should take part in GSoD.

Re: [Sugar-devel] GSoC 2021 Ideas

[Saumya Mishra]

Hi,

Regarding `Port Sugar and core activities to Python 3` I think this is
still relevant and does not require changes to last year's project.
I also agree with Jui. As the number of hours is reduced, we can try to
reduce the number of items given in the 'Project Task checklist'. As Port
to Telepathy (https://github.com/orgs/sugarlabs/projects/4) here it shows
it is almost completed except for one activity remaining, it requires
minimal concern this year.
Port to the latest sugargame and collabwrapper, Port to Python 3 requires
major importance this year according to me. "Reviewing the Sugar source
code changes that were made for porting to Python 3" is also essential to
include in the task list.


Thanks
Saumya

-- *Frotz*: Port to Python 3 is complete. Need to test and fix VTE errors.
#7 <https://github.com/sugarlabs/Frotz/pull/7>
-- *geotonky*:  Need to redesign the workflow as we use in activities with
Sugargame. #4 <https://github.com/sugarlabs/geotonky-activity/pull/4>
-- *arithmetic*: Port to Python 3 is complete, yet activity not in working
state. Need to fix issues faced while testing. #7
<https://github.com/sugarlabs/arithmetic/pull/7>

Nice work.
I have also tested Calculate version 46-1 with Ubuntu 20.04 sucrose package

All the Errors are reproducible.

Hello Shaan,

Nice work. I have also tested fructose activities on Ubuntu 20.04 with
sucrose package version 0.117 , Some of the errors you mentioned are
reproducible in following activities in Browse, Calculate and in write. I
would suggest opening issues in GitHub repositories so that if someone
wants to work on activities , he/she can solve them.

Thanks
Saumya

[Sugar-devel] Port Sugar and core activities to Python3 - Project Update

[Saumya Mishra]

Hello,

My progress on the GSoc Project so far-

Test and review old commits of *sugar* and *sugar-datastore* (port to
python3 commits only) , find most of the issues in sugar which was related
to encoding and decoding of byte data, I opened pull requests as well as
worked on some issues - #922  <https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/pull/922> |
#21 <https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-datastore/pull/21> | #923
<https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/issues/923>

Test Collaboration of *fructose* activities , I tested *write*, *chat*
and *pippy* in detail. Found some issues , I have opened pull requests and
issues for that. Some of the major issues I found seem related to earlier
python3 ports commits which have done without proper testing. The links of
my work so far regarding this - #921
<https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/pull/921> | #40
<https://github.com/sugarlabs/write-activity/issues/40> | #924
<https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/issues/924>

Debug and test issue found by *find-words-activity* #411
<https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-toolkit-gtk3/issues/441> and* pippy* in
collab wrapper #24 <https://github.com/sugarlabs/collabwrapper/pull/24>

*Turtle-Art* : Test and find that port to gtk3 was incomplete, work on
fixing along with some minor updates in sprites.py #82
<https://github.com/sugarlabs/turtleart-activity/pull/82> | #81
<https://github.com/sugarlabs/turtleart-activity/pull/81>

*locosugar *: Fix screen resolution and make it compatible with all
screen sizes , fix warning erroneous pipeline which was mainly caused by
old audio player modules , @Jui Pradhan  is also
working with me in some issues found there. She will also look into release
once my changes get merged. #14
<https://github.com/sugarlabs/locosugar/pull/14>

*activity-turtle-flags : *Rebase and merge with TurtleArt , Port to
Python3 , GTK3 and from GConf to GioSettings. The changes here is done ,
required reviews. #8
<https://github.com/sugarlabs/activity-turtle-flags/pull/8>

*PolariActivity : *Work on Port to Python3 , some minor fixes and
deletion of zope, constantly , twisted and incremental source files as
distro packages will be supported here i.e. *python3-twisted* . Found a
major issue which is UnicodeDecodeError while testing , which only needs to
be solved. #7 <https://github.com/sugarlabs/PolariActivity/pull/7>

*stick-hero-activity : *Work on port of python3 , update to latest
sugargame and major testing . Jui is working on the last python2 release ,
I will work on port after that #1
<https://github.com/JuiP/stick-hero-activity/pull/1>.

*infoslicer :* work on port to python3 and from sgmllib to html.parser
is done. infoslicer uses two copies of beautifulsoup , which needs to be
merged in one somehow. Suggestions are to use the distro package of*
BeautifulSoup *as it is a good practice nowadays. It is still in progress.
#34 <https://github.com/sugarlabs/infoslicer/pull/34>

Link of other found issues while testing #5
<https://github.com/sugarlabs/mastermind-activity/issues/5> | #35
<https://github.com/sugarlabs/infoslicer/issues/35>

I will be working on the issues I mentioned above and if Jui wants she can
work on release of activities mentioned above. Along with that as Jui
mentioned we are going to release the last python2 version of PyCut. I will
work on port to Python3 on PyCut.
I would also continue testing of activities regularly as we probably need
more testing.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks and Regards

[Sugar-devel] Community Bonding Period

[Saumya Mishra]

Hello all,

My Project is - Port Sugar and core activities to Python3.

I had a good time with community members and mentors. I had a few meets
with James , Jui , Shaan and Rahul.

I have worked on Porting few activities to Python3. The activities include
showntell-activity, infoslicer, vncLauncher, solar-system and Frotz. The
solar-system activity is released and other activities are still in
progress. I will be working on those activities along with Jui to get them
released.

Along with this I also worked on some reviewing and testing of sugar source
code . I will continue this work in further weeks also.

I also worked on Port to TelepathyGLib of some activities -
activity-turtle-flags, and still working on activity-turtle-confusion and
AmazonasTortuga. I will also continue the work this week.

I have made two project plans one
<https://github.com/Saumya-Mishra9129/sugar/projects/1> contains work on
sugar and fructose activities , second
<https://github.com/users/Saumya-Mishra9129/projects/2> one includes work
on port of other activities. I will keep on updating my future plans as
To-Do's here with all Progress information.

Any suggestion or feedback is welcome.

Thanks and Regards

[Sugar-devel] Progress Update (Port Sugar and core activities to Python3) : 28th May 2020

[Saumya Mishra]

Hello All,

The work I have done so far and I am going to do next-

Review the source code of sugar after 0.112 is released, Test every patch
and make changes wherever needed. Change I have made so far is mainly
related to PEP 8 fixes however there are some fixMe comments on various
places I am planning to work next on them as well as in Sugar - text
clipping cannot get removed , the feature shows some errors,
https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/issues/856 working on this. The sugar
has currently 39 issues and 16 pull requests open, Some of the pull
requests have significantly less amount of work required in order to get
them merged. My work will be to review all of them and make changes after
testing my work.

Work on Port of telepathy to TelepathyGLib - I first decided to work on all
the activities , which share common code with Turtle-Art as a rebasing has
to be done first. I found 4 activities related activity-turtle-flags,
AmazonasTortuga, activity-turtle confusion, amazonas-activity . Turtle-Art
has ported to TelepathyGLib before.

Work on infoslicer activity , Port to Python3 and from sgmllib to
html.parser as sgmllib is dropped in python3 and HTMLParser class is
designed as a base class and it extends SGMLParser class defined in module
sgmllib. Port has done , but activity requires testing .

VncLauncher - activity is ported along with required x11vnc distro specific
support. However @James Cameron   and I thought about a
slight modification , as users of activity are teachers, and it is not
necessary that they will be familiar with use of IP addresses, Next thing
is to try registering an mdns name on the network and let the VNC client
use that.

I also had a meeting with James on IRC on 25th May 2020.

Thanks for reading , Suggestions are welcomed.

[Sugar-devel] Weekly Update (Port Sugar and core activities to Python3): 11th May 2020 to 17th May 2020

[Saumya Mishra]

Hello,

I worked on Port of Frotz , VncLauncher , solar-system , showntell-activity
and infoslicer. Along with reviewing recall , AnalyseJournal and
terminal-activity. Along with this I opened 3 issues in showntell-activity
and pukllanapac. I had a meeting on 11th May with James , shaan and Jui
where we discussed about  debian packaging and how the various Linux
Distributions handle it differently. I also had some discussions with
mentor Rahul Bothra about how to work and future plans.

Frotz needed port to Gtk3 also, Toolbar also needed to be fixed and there
were some errors as Gdk.Color is deprecated in the latest release, Change
to Gdk.RGBA was important there. Frotz uses Vte.Terminal class and in Vte
2.91 , some class methods have deprecated so I worked on trying and fixing
which method can work for replacement with Srevin Saju. A new challenge for
Frotz is to change frotz binaries to system specific packages for frotz.

VncLauncher uses embedded x11vnc binaries which are outdated so I have
removed support for the use of embedded binaries and used distro packages
in place. I also did some flake8 fixes also in activity.

solar-system , activity has no test plan yet as well as it consumes a lot
of CPU time. Also it needed port to WebKit2 and python3. I worked on some
changes there.

showntell-activity needed Python3 support and it uses a way old version of
Python that is 2.2 in some necessary files . I worked on porting as well as
on some major/minor errors I noticed while porting , fixing signals names
etc. It is still in progress.

infoslicer also needs porting to Python3 and it also uses sgmllib so It
needed to port to another bundled module in Python3. I searched about which
module can be helpful in case of sgmllib found sgmllib3k and lxml. I am
still figuring out which one will be best.

Thanks

Hello Aviral,

I just looked at previous year projects blogs , Most of them were using
Medium and also one had used github.io. I guess any of them will work fine
and it depends on our choice.

Thanks

Re: [Sugar-devel] Sugar-devel Digest, Vol 138, Issue 9

[Saumya Mishra]

Hello Cheong Siu Hong,
 Your Plan looks good to me. I agree with your plan as I have seen there
are sugar-web activities not working as expected on Sugar. The issues there
can be due to outdated sugar-web library. The porting guide also will be
helpful for the new developers in future. As suggested by James Cameron ,
there must not be language barrier between developers we must be able to
work on as much  directions as possible. Thanks.

The problem is with my system somewhere as I first installed Packaged Sugar
and while opening new desktop  session , my cursor was changed then I
installed Sugar's Native-build without removing Packaged Sugar. Is there
any way I can remove whole Sugar from my system and so that I can
re-install it correctly?
