Good start. Now what is blocking those four?
Lack of developer interest/time/ability?
or something else that they need?
How about a basic how-to document? I maintain PyGreSQL and would like
to move it to 3.x right now but I don't even know what the issues are.
I can see on the site the 2.x documents and the 3.x documents for
extending with C modules and I can read both from end to end but that
hits the time issue above. If there was a relatively simple document
that showed what needed to be changed in the C code we could get
started on the transition sooner.
Or is there no change at the C level? That would make things easy.
There are definitely changes at the C level.
I ported two pure C extensions from 2 to 3 and was even able to keep a
single C codebase. I'd be willing to contribute my experiences to a
document somewhere. (Is there a Wiki?) I would have found such a
document very helpful before I started porting.
Cheers
