Hello!
I can see that Python 3 support in Twisted is incomplete. I was able
to `pip install twisted` on Python 3, but I couldn't run a simple
example program using Twisted Agent.
A simple `from twisted.web.client import Agent` causes `ImportError:
No module named 'twisted.python.systemd'`
I would like to help in porting Twisted to Python 3. I have a couple
of questions.
My initial idea was to run some twisted tests with trial and start
from there. But it looks like trial is not ported to python3 and also
I think many tests themselves are not python3 aware.
The trial command-line tool is not ported, but the library part is.
admin/run-python3-tests
<https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/browser/trunk/admin/run-python3-tests>
will run Twisted's tests on Python 3.
So what is a recommended workflow?
See https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/Plan/Python3
As for Twisted Agent... URL and its parsed components are now bytes,
but `Agent._getEndpoint` operates on str, and so do other functions
(`isIPAddress`, `isIPv6Address`), causing type and other errors.
Probably Agent would probably need to be modified to explicitly take
bytes on both Python 2 and Python 3, since URLs are bytes.
