Hi all,
Earlier this week, I committed to CURRENT a patch to add support for
embedded Python 3.3.0 (or later) interpreter with innd and nnrpd filter
hooks.
Latest daily snapshots of CURRENT contain the patch.
If people here are using Python hooks and wish to port them to Python 3,
feel free to test and report any issue.
I've tested all the features provided by innd and nnrpd filter hooks,
and believe they work fine with both Python 2 and Python 3.
From changelog:
When configuring INN with the B-with-python flag, the PYTHON environment
variable, when set, is used to select the interpreter to embed.
Otherwise, it is searched in standard paths.
In case you change the Python interpreter to embed, make sure that the
Python scripts you use are written in the expected syntax for that
version of the Python interpreter. Notably, buffer objects have been
replaced with memoryview objects in Python 3, and UTF-8 encoding
now really matters for string literals (Python 3 uses bytes and Unicode
objects).
INN documentation and samples of Python hooks have been updated to
provide more examples.
