Description
A long term goal given direction of python development. Some notes from John Jacobsen's early work:
I'm finding (e.g. in https://github.com/pytoolz/toolz) that supporting Python 3 isn't particularly hard. With the following, you can test both versions of Python:
conttest 'source ~/env/bin/activate && \
nosetests -s -x --with-doctest && \
deactivate && \
source ~/env32/bin/activate && \
nosetests -s -x --with-doctest && \
deactivate && \
pep8 .'
This assumes ~/env and ~/env32 are Python 2.x and Python 3 virtualenvs, respectively.
Turns out this is harder than I thought: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19126182/hints-for-nested-context-managers-in-a-python-2-6-python-3-neutral-way
