Re: [python-uk] Python 2.7 code: a spring-clean

There's been loose talk of adding "minus2" fixers to 2to3, but I don't know whether there's been any concrete progress. At least most refactorings will be taking place on a code base that already runs on Python 3, so tests (where they exist) can ensure that such automated refactorings would do rel

[python-uk] Python 2.7 code: a spring-clean

Hi all, With the end-of-life of Python 2 upon us, I wondered about cleaning up code that has (had!) to support both Python 2 and Python 3. Some of it is easy (e.g. look for any references to the ‘six’ library), some of it is relatively easy (e.g. super(Foobar, self) ) and… actually, there could
