Grzegorz Kokosinski commented on RANGER-5133:
---------------------------------------------
According to [https://endoflife.date/python,] it looks like it is the right
time to update the python requirements for Ranger.
> Clarify requirements regarding Python version
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: RANGER-5133
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-5133
> Project: Ranger
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: admin, tagsync, usersync
> Affects Versions: 2.5.0
> Reporter: Krzysztof Sobolewski
> Priority: Major
>
> There are plenty of Python scripts in Ranger, but it's unclear to me what
> version of Python they should be running on. Our deployment environment
> contains a fairly recent version of Python 3 (because Python 2 is long EOL),
> and, for example, the database scripts do not work. For example, we had to
> make the following change:
> {code:java}
> fcp = ConfigParser()
> fcp.optionxform = str
> - fcp.readfp(config)
> + fcp.read_file(config)
> {code}
> That's because `readfp` is no longer available in newer Python versions. Or,
> the escape syntax in strings has changed and newer Python spews a lot of
> warnings about it (the old syntax is about to be removed in the future).
> So my request here is to clarify that and/or fixup the scripts so they work
> on current version of Python. Thanks!
