[Mailman-Users] Compiling mailaman-2.1.x against python3.x
Hi,
I am trying to manually compile mailman-2.1.34 against python3.x on
FreeBSD-12.1 because python2.7 is being EoLed on the platform. I am getting
these errors which I need help with:

If you don't want to update the codebase or move to MM3, you're pretty much stuck with 2.7. z! -- Mailman-Users mailing list -- mailman-users@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to mailman-users-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users.python.org/ Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: https://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/ https://mail.python.org/archives/list/mailman-users@python.org/

IIRC, mailman-2.x should work with minimum python2.x. Python3.x is also supposed to work. I'd like to work with python3.6 or python3.7. How do I do that?

(If anyone knows about this, it's Mark.) Python3.x is also supposed to work. (See above) I'd like to work with python3.6 or python3.7. How do I do that? From the previous conversations on this list, it looks like you're pretty much on your own for that. First thing would be running the entire MM2 codebase through the python 2->3 converter process, but I have no idea what it will need past that. I'm sure there are pages that detail the syntactic and semantic differences between the version. These differences are some of the reasons that python2 is still around. BTW, I took at quick look at this conversion 8-10 months ago and decided it wasn't worth my time to chase down all of the issues. z! -- Mailman-Users mailing list -- mailman-users@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to mailman-users-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users.python.org/ Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: https://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/ https://mail.python.org/archives/list/mailman-users@python.org/

Why do you think that? > I'd like to work with python3.6 or python3.7. How do I do that? You could start with 2to3, but I can almost certainly guarantee you'll give up before you squash all the unicode bugs. Mailman 2.1.27+ REQUIRES Python 2. Preferably the latest Python 2.7. I *think* it will work with Python 2.6, but that is not recommended. It will not work with any Python 3 and porting it would be a nightmare. -- Mark Sapiro The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.
