[bind10-dev] Python 3.3 and BIND 10

[Mukund Sivaraman]

Hi all

We should know about some changes in Python 3.3. One thing I noticed is
that socket.error exceptions are now reported as OSError (as it's an
alias for OSError now). socket.error is never reported, so please
remember that when you read log output.

Over the weekend I upgraded to Fedora 18 on my workstation (which ships
Python 3.3). I could reproduce the following issues:

* #2621 (python3.3 and failed session_test.py tests) [patch by jelte
   exists]
* #2622 (python3.3 and config_data_test.py failures) [patches added]
* #2623 (python3.3 and msgq_test.py) [patch added]

New issues I found are:

* #2644 (python3.3 and notify_out_test.py failure) [patch added]

* I think two tests inside bin/stats/ crashed for me a few times, but I
  was checking other things and didn't make a note of it. Now it doesn't
  crash anymore no matter how many times I run it, but there are
  definitely issues there.

The following issues don't happen for me on Fedora 18, so they may be
specific to that tested CentOS 5.8 environment:

* #2625 (lettuce timing failure for starting cmdctl for In-memory
  datasource backed ...)
* #2626 (lettuce timing failure for DDNS ACL)
* #2627 (lettuce timing failure for ConfigManager)

All these bugs are marked as Next-Sprint-Proposed. I suggest that the
non-lettuce bugs be made into a single meta ticket and fixed inside a
single branch; these tickets all have patches attached. It won't be too
much work inside a single ticket, and would be better than having 4-5
branches+reviews.
