* Removed all __future__ imports from code
* Removed all six dependencies
* Removed all future_builtins imports
* Removed all Python 2 related code
Closes: deluge-torrent/deluge#325
The move to using auto-formatter makes it easier to read, submit and
speeds up development time. https://github.com/ambv/black/
Although I would prefer 79 chars, the default line length of 88 chars
used by black suffices. The flake8 line length remains at 120 chars
since black does not touch comments or docstrings and this will require
another round of fixes.
The only black setting that is not standard is the use of double-quotes
for strings so disabled any formatting of these. Note however that
flake8 will still flag usage of double-quotes. I may change my mind on
double vs single quotes but for now leave them.
A new pyproject.toml file has been created for black configuration.
Some new flake8 checkers were added so fix these new warnings and
any issues uncovered.
Use add-trailing-comma to fix missing trailing commas. It does not
format it as well as I would like however it was fast to change and
helps with git changes in future.
Removed pylint from tox due to large number of warnings.
- Preparation work for using six or future module for Py2/3 compat. The
code will be written in Python 3 with Python 2 fallbacks.
- Added some Py3 imports with Py2 fallbacks to make it easier to remove
Py2 code in future.
- Replace xrange with range (sort out import as top of files in future).
- Workaround Py2to3 basestring issue with inline if in instances. This means
every usage of basestring is more considered.
- Replace iteritems and itervalues for items and values. There might be a
performance penalty on Py2 so might need to revisit this change.
* Added `from __future__ import unicode_literals` to every file so
now all strings in code are forced to be unicode strings unless
marked as byte string `b'str'` or encoded to byte string `'str'.encode('utf-8')`.
This is a large change but we have been working towards the goal of unicode
strings passed in the code so decoding external input and encoding
output as byte strings (where applicable).
Note that in Python 2 the `str` type still refers to byte strings.
* Replaced the use of `str` for `basestring` in isinstance comparison as
this was the original intention but breaks code when encoutering unicode strings.
* Marked byte strings in gtkui as the conversion to utf8 is not always handled, mostly
related to gobject signal names.
* A rather disruptive change but for a few reasons such as easier to read,
easier type, keep consistent and javascript code uses single quotes.
* There are a few exceptions for the automated process:
* Any double quotes in comments
* Triple double quotes for docstrings
* Strings containing single quotes are left e.g. "they're"
* To deal with merge conflicts from feature branches it is best to follow
these steps for each commit:
* Create a patch: `git format-patch -1 <sha1>`
* Edit the patch and replace double quotes with single except those in
comments or strings containing an unescaped apostrophe.
* Check the patch `git apply --check <patchfile>` and fix any remaining
issues if it outputs an error.
* Apply the patch `git am < <patchfile>`
To make the code more Python 3 compatible, I've made a few changes to how we handle keys() or iterkeys() calls on dictionaries. All functionality should remain the same.
* Remove the use of .keys() or .iterkeys() when iterating through a dictionary.
* Remove the use of .keys() when checking if key exists in dictionary.
* Replace dict.keys() with list(dict) to obtain a list of dictionary keys. In Python 3 dict.keys() returns a dict_keys object, not a list.
* Added N802 to flake8 ignore as certain inherited funcs cannot be changed
to lowercase and this unresolved warning hides other errors/warnings.
* Include new header
Passing `-r` to the cli's while also passing `-l` will make the logfile rotate when reaching 5Mb in size. Three backups will be kept at all times.
All deluge's code is now using this new style logging along with the git hosted plugins. For other plugins not hosted by deluge, which still imports `LOG` as the logger, a deprecation warning will be shown explaining the required changes needed to use the new style logging. New plugins created by the `create_plugin` script will use the new logging facilities.
