Python3 ======= Compatibility ------------- Please, consider python3 >= 3.2 only. Approach -------- We maintain a Python 2 base and use 2to3 to generate Python 3 code. 2to3 is integrated into the distutils installation process and will be run as a build step when invoked by the python3 interpreter:: NO_SETUPTOOLS=1 python3 setup.py install --no-compile In order to run pylint locally, you have to install the dependencies:: easy_install-3.2 logilab-common easy_install-3.2 logilab-astng Debian ------ For the Debian packaging, you can use the debian.py3k/ content against the debian/ folder:: cp debian.py3k/* debian/ Resources --------- http://wiki.python.org/moin/PortingPythonToPy3k
