Description Maël Lavault 2012-10-01 17:32:45 UTC
It seems that soon, gnome will advise every apps to upgrade to python 3. Maybe we can start this port now, like many gnome apps.

Port gnome-clocks to python3

Here is the patch, you have to add os.environ['PYTHON'] = 'python3'to your jhbuildrc to test it.

And make sure you have a python3 version of pygobject.

Hi Mael! Thanks for the patch, it looks pretty good... I think we miss a couple of things

 - we need a py3 version of pycanberra, there is a patch/fork on the github project and we can use that one
 - I think we can just put /bin/env python3 in the hashbang instead of having to export the env var

Hi ! :)

You are right, 

I kinda was hoping that libcanberra would be ported to gobject-inrospection by the time but i can see i was wrong :(
I will apply the pycanberra patch to test it out.


The exported env var was also for jhbuild, so it can install everything in the right place. Of course /bin/env python3 would be better.

updated patch

I committed the updated pycanberra since that also works with py2.

Then I updated the patch and tested, but there are still a few things that do not work:

 - To run in jhbuild, you need to export PYTHON because jhbuild uses that to set PYTHONPATH appropriately
 - I get "TypeError: Couldn't find conversion for foreign struct 'cairo.Context'" and the drawing does not work
 - I fixed the utf8 json handling for loading the files, but probably file saving needs to fixed too

the cairo error seems gone now that I rebuilt things cleanly. So I fixed up the file handling and pushed. Thanks!
