-Py code:
-
-setup.py invokes 2to3 automatically. This handles int/long and print issues,
- among others.
-setup.py will touch nt.py on win32 after build and build again. This is
- necessary so 2to3 can do its magic on that file.
-
-There are still a lot of places in the code that need manual attention even
- with 2to3. They mostly have to do with string (2.x) vs. byte/unicode (3.x)
- representation
-
-Use "if sys.version_info[0] == 2:" where needed. Ideally, most of the
- conditional code can be in py3compat.
-
-Replace str(x) with bstr(x) if bytes were intended. Becomes str(x) in 2.x and
- bytes(x) in 3.x through py3compat module.
-Replace chr(x) with bchr(x) if bytes were intended. Becomes chr(x) in 2.x and
- bytes([x]) in 3.x through py3compat module.
-Replace ord(x) with bord(x) if bytes were intended. Becomes ord(x) in 2.x and
- x in 3.x through py3compat module.
-
-Comparing a string index to a string literal needs to be changed in 3.x, as
- b'string'[0] returns an integer, not b's'.
-The comparison can be fixed by indexing the right side, too:
- "if s[0]==b('\x30')[0]:" or "if self.typeTag!=self.typeTags['SEQUENCE'][0]:"
-
-String literals need to be bytes if bytes were intended.
-Replace "x" with b("x") if bytes were intended. Becomes "x" in 2.x, and
- s.encode("x","latin-1") in 3.x through py3compat module.
-For example, '"".join' is replaced by 'b("").join', and 's = ""' becomes
- 's = b("")'.
-Search for \x to find literals that may have been intended as byte strings
-!! However, where a human-readable ASCII text string output was intended,
- such as in AllOrNothing.undigest(), leave as a string literal !!
-
-Only load py21compat.py
- "if sys.version_info[0] == 2 and sys.version_info[1] == 1:" .
- The assignment to True, False generates syntax errors in 3.x, and >= 2.2 don't
- need the compatibility code.
-
-Where print is used with >> to redirect, use a separate function instead.
- See setup.py for an example
-
-The string module has been changed in 3.x. It lost join and split, maketrans
- now expects bytes, and so on.
-Replace string.join(a,b) with b.join(a).
-Replace string.split(a) with a.split().
-Replace body of white-space-stripping functions with 'return "".join(s.split())'
-
-Integer division via the "/" operator can return a float in 3.x. This causes
- issues in Util.number.getStrongPrime. As 2.1 does not support the "//"
- operator, divmod(a,b)[0] is used instead, to conform with an existing practice
- throughout the rest of the pycrypto code base.
-
-Do not use assert_/failUnless or failIf. These are deprecated and are scheduled
- to be removed in Python 3.3 and 3.4.
-Use instead assertEqual(expr,True) for assert_ and assertEqual(expr,False) for
- failIf
-
-Added unit tests for Crypto.Random.random. Fixed random.shuffle().
-random.sample() changed to no longer fail on Python 2.1.
-
-Added unit test for Crypto.Protocol.AllOrNothing.
-AllOrNothing changed to no longer fail occasionally.
-
-C code:
-
-Extended "pycrypto_compat.h". It handles #define's for Python 3.x forward
- compatibility
-
-#include "pycrypto_compat.h"
-// All other local includes after this, so they can benefit from the
-// definitions in pycrypto_compat.h
-
-The compat header #defines IS_PY3K if compiling on 3.x
-The compat header #defines PyBytes_*, PyUnicode_*, PyBytesObject to resolve to
- their PyString* counterparts if compiling on 2.x.
-PyLong_* can be dangerous depending on code construct (think an if that runs
- PyInt_* with else PyLong_*),
-therefore it is #defined in each individual module if needed and safe to do so.
-
-PyString_* has been replaced with PyBytes_* or PyUnicode_* depending on intent
-PyStringObject has been replaced with PyBytesObject or PyUnicodeObject
- depending on intent.
-PyInt_* has been replaced with PyLong_*, where safe to do (in all cases so far)
-
-The C code uses "#ifdef IS_PY3K" liberally.
-Code duplication has been avoided.
-
-Module initialization and module structure differ significantly in 3.x.
- Conditionals take care of it.
-
-myModuleType.ob_type assignment conditionally becomes PyTypeReady for 3.x.
-
-getattr cannot be used to check against custom attributes in 3.x. For 3.x,
- conditional code uses getattro and PyUnicode_CompareWithASCIIString instead
- of strcmp
-
-hexdigest() needed to be changed to return a Unicode object with 3.x
-
-
-TODO for extra credit:
-- Check for type of string in functions and throw an error when it's not
- correct. While at it, ensure that functions observe the guidelines below
- re type.
- This is friendlier than just relying on Python's errors.
-- Make sure DerSequence slicing is tested, since I took the explicit slice
