[Zope-dev] ZTK Porting Status

[Stephan Richter]

Hi all,

I went through the ztk-versions.cfg file and verified availability of a Python 3 
port. I commented the ztk-versions.cfg file. Below are the relevant sections. 
If we remove all deprecated pacakges and packages that should not be in use 
anymore, only the following dependencies/toolchain packages require a Python 3 
port:

z3c.checkversions
z3c.recipe.compattest
zope.kgs
zc.resourcelibrary
zope.mkzeoinstance
ZODB (awaiting merge of py3 branch)

Luckily we control all these packages.

These packages should just be removed from the file:

# Deprecating
# zope.broken was only needed for ZODB3.
zope.broken = 3.6.0
# zope.server has been forked and ported to Py3 under the name "waitress".
zope.server = 3.8.6
# RestrictedPython and thus zope.untrustedpython are hard to port to Py3.
zope.untrustedpython = 4.0.0
# No package should depend on ZODB3 anymore.
ZODB3 = 3.11.0a2
# mechanize should only be needed for testbrowser.
mechanize = 0.2.5

Dependencies missing a Python 3 port:

# XXX: Where do we need that?
Paste = 1.7.5.1
# PasteScript should not be needed anymore, since zope.paste supports serving
# directly now.
PasteScript = 1.7.5
# Fix by removing it from the ZTK?
RestrictedPython = 3.6.0
# XXX: Where is this needed?
unittest2 = 0.5.1
# Should just be ported.
zc.resourcelibrary = 1.3.4
zope.mkzeoinstance = 3.9.5
# Needs merge of py3 branch.
ZODB = 4.0.0a4

# toolchain
# Missing py3 port
z3c.checkversions = 0.4.1
# Missing py3 port
z3c.recipe.compattest = 0.13.1
# Should not be needed anymore:
z3c.recipe.scripts = 1.0.1
# Missing py3 port
zope.kgs = 1.2.0

Regards,
Stephan
