| PYTHON 3 SUPPORT |
| ================= |
| |
| Python 3 support in Mako is provided by the Python 2to3 script. |
| |
| Installing Distribute |
| --------------------- |
| |
| Distribute should be installed with the Python3 installation. The |
| distribute bootloader is included. |
| |
| Running as a user with permission to modify the Python distribution, |
| install Distribute: |
| |
| python3 distribute_setup.py |
| |
| |
| Installing Mako in Python 3 |
| --------------------------------- |
| |
| Once Distribute is installed, Mako can be installed directly. |
| The 2to3 process will kick in which takes several minutes: |
| |
| python3 setup.py install |
| |
| Converting Tests, Examples, Source to Python 3 |
| ---------------------------------------------- |
| |
| To convert all files in the source distribution, run |
| the 2to3 script: |
| |
| 2to3 --no-diffs -w lib test examples |
| |
| The above will rewrite all files in-place in Python 3 format. |
| |
| Running Tests |
| ------------- |
| |
| To run the unit tests, ensure Distribute is installed as above, |
| and also that at least the ./lib/ and ./test/ directories have been converted |
| to Python 3 using the source tool above. A Python 3 version of Nose |
| can be acquired from Bitbucket using Mercurial: |
| |
| hg clone http://bitbucket.org/jpellerin/nose3/ |
| cd nose3 |
| python3 setup.py install |
| |
| The tests can then be run using the "nosetests3" script installed by the above. |
