Dear all
Just to let you know I'm working on reorganising the layout of the veusz
tree. I'm trying to put the python module code into a veusz subdirectory
and have converted everything to use relative imports. I'm also trying
to move to using PyQt's API 2, where Python never sees any of the
QStrings, QVariants, etc... This means I can remove a lot of the
unicode() calls scattered around which converted from QString. I've
switched exceptions to use the new (python3 compatible) syntax. Earlier,
I also switched everything to using the new python3 division behaviour.
One of the aims is to make the code much more python3 compatible. Once
the cleanup is done, it might be possible to have a code base which can
run on python2 and 3 (perhaps using the "six" module or our own thin
layer). The remaining issues are handling the remaining unicode() calls,
izip/zip, xrange/range and the odd few print statements. There are
probably a few places where more careful encoding/decoding of unicode
has to be done.
It's in-progress, but everything appears to be still working. Try out
the "rearrange" branch if you're interested, but it can break at any time.
If anyone is feeling adventurous, please feel free to send me patches to
convert old-style signal/slots to the new syntax.
Jeremy
