[Zope-dev] Success at porting ZTK to Python 3!
Subject: Success at porting ZTK app to Python 3! Hi all, I'm glad to announce that we at CipherHealth have recently ported a full-fledged ZTK application to Python 3! What is cipher.uibuilder? ~ UI Builder is the infrastructural part of our major product. It is a library for building multi-tenant systems for business applications that involve import, processing and export of some data. UI Builder allows the admin to set up various user-facing views for the data, including tables, forms, charts, etc. Each tenant (site) has a separate configuration that is editable TTW and is stored using the ZODB and ConfigParser files on disk. The configuration files then can be loaded into a site. This allows us to version configurations and move them between environments. UI Builder also provides facilities for scheduled tasks and background execution of long-running jobs using celery. UI Builder uses z3c.form, z3c.table, as well as zope.publisher and friends. We have put together a simple demo application that exercises most UI Builder features. Status of the Python 3 port ~~~ We have the demo application successfully running on Python 3.3. In order to do that we have to rely on a number of alpha packages and several unreleased versions in py3 branches of dependencies. There still are several open issues, such as absence of xlwt-based Excel output and the issue of ZODB data backwards compatibility. In order to get zope.testbrowser-based tests to work on Python 3, we chose to migrate to WebTest as the back end instead of mechanize, as mechanize proved to be too hard to port to Python 3. The new version of zope.testbrowser is highly compatible with the previous one, verified on test suites of several major applications which used zope.testbrowser. Trying it out ~ If you're interested, you can check out the py3 branch of cipher.uibuilderdemo.
