Subject: git-p4, and python2 EOL
Date: Wed, 28 Aug 2019 09:49:00 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAE5ih79dF7LJSp=hUgj_r2XUmWKYnU3XgSReSjOetG8Sek599A@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

We're coming up on when Python2 is end-of-lifed - we have until
January 1st 2020.

git-p4 uses python2, and doesn't work under python3 at all.

The problem is the conversions between Python3 unicode strings and git
(utf-8) and p4 (utf-8, except when it isn't).

I had a go at fixing this here:

https://github.com/luked99/git/commits/git-p4-python3-final-showdown

You can see from the comments that I wasn't really finding it straightforward.

I think I know a bit more about the problem now, but before I start
having another go at fixing this, I wondered if anyone else had any
thoughts on this, or even better, some time to spend on this.

Thanks
Luke
