Hey Mark, I've taken a shot (on a Macbook) at porting Gump to Python 3. I used "2to3" a bunch, but then manually worked on updates continually running Gump's unit test. I don't know how complete the coverage of those tests is, but hopefully it is a start. (I couldn't seem to install 'anydbm' on my mac, so I mocked it and commented it out, for now.)
---------------------------------------------------- Gump Performed [102] tests with [0] issues. No Problems Detected I commit to a branch: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/gump/branches/python3/ I'm not sure how I access the VM to try the full Gump run. Let me know if there is anything more I can do to complete the migration. regards, Adam On Fri, Nov 27, 2020 at 12:29 PM Mark Thomas <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > Ubuntu 20.04 comes with python3.
