entry.comment is str in both Python 2 and Python 3; a reasonable choice
given API constraints, although if you were doing it from scratch you'd
probably make it unicode in Python 2 and str in Python 3 (henceforth
"text"). It's important to distinguish between a byte string that
contains UTF-8-encoded Unicode characters and the Python 2 unicode type.
You can tell the difference by printing it using repr().
The release upgrader sets _() up to be a gettext function that returns
"text". This will work fine in Python 3, but in Python 2 this means
that we need to take a little more care to combine that with
entry.comment. I suggest something like this:
add_comment = " " + _("disabled on upgrade to %s") % self.toDist
if isinstance(entry.comment, bytes):
entry.comment += add_comment.encode("UTF-8")
else:
entry.comment += add_comment
** Package changed: python-apt (Ubuntu Quantal) => ubuntu-release-
upgrader (Ubuntu Quantal)
