Laurent Mignon updated CMIS-1059:
---------------------------------
Affects Version/s: cmislib 0.6.0
Description:
Make the library compatible with Python 3 while remaining compatible with
Python 2.7.
The first step in the migration process was the implementation of a continuous
integration process based on travis and the refactoring of the tests. (see
[#10|https://github.com/apache/chemistry-cmislib/pull/10] for the motivations)
In a second step, the code was modified syntactically to be both Python 2 and
Python 3 compliant.
The httplib2 library was then replaced by python-request
([http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/]). It natively supports Python 2
and Python 3, manages sessions better (perf are improved), has no problem with
large files and is very well maintained and documented. This library seems to
be a de facto standard.
Finally, the code is now flake8.
These changes constitute a major evolution of the library. Even if all the unit
tests allow us to believe that no regression was introduced by this
refactoring, these changes must be validated by an intensive use of the library.
