PYTHON 3 SUPPORT
=================
Python 3 support in Mako is provided by the Python 2to3 script.
Installing Distribute
---------------------
Distribute should be installed with the Python3 installation. The
distribute bootloader is included.
Running as a user with permission to modify the Python distribution,
install Distribute:
python3 distribute_setup.py
Installing Mako in Python 3
---------------------------------
Once Distribute is installed, Mako can be installed directly.
The 2to3 process will kick in which takes several minutes:
python3 setup.py install
Converting Tests, Examples, Source to Python 3
----------------------------------------------
To convert all files in the source distribution, run
the 2to3 script:
2to3 -w mako test
If using 3.1's 2to3 tool, the --no-diffs flag might help
with unicode issues:
2to3-3.1 -w --no-diffs mako test
The above will rewrite all files in-place in Python 3 format.
Running Tests
-------------
To run the unit tests, ensure Distribute is installed as above,
and also that at least the ./mako/ and ./test/ directories have been converted
to Python 3 using the source tool above. A Python 3 version of Nose
can be acquired from Bitbucket using Mercurial:
hg clone http://bitbucket.org/jpellerin/nose3/
cd nose3
python3 setup.py install
The tests can then be run using the "nosetests3" script installed
by the above (python3 setup.py test doesn't seem to be working with
nose3).
