Hi, the encode-decode problem on question 1 is mostly related to the opening of files. For example:
filename = os.path.join(FOLDER, subfolder, 'chapters.txt') if PY2: lines = open(filename) else: lines = open(filename, encoding='utf-8') In PY2 there is no option for the encoder, while on PY3 it is mandatory. I'm still learning, too ;-) Nico Il giorno gio 11 ott 2018 alle ore 16:16 Ben Duncan <linux...@gmail.com> ha scritto: > Exactly what are you running into? > > I ran into this with my rewrite of of extract extract_pgsql_models.py: > ...... > f['type'] = "'decimal({},{})'".format(f['precision'],f['scale']) > had to become > f['type'] = "'decimal({0},{1})'".format(f['precision'],f['scale']) > > And so one. > > The changes work across Python 2.7 and 3.6 seamlessly now ... > > FWIW, I'm just making the transition to Python 3,6 so I'm learning things > the hard way ... > > Ben Duncan > > > On Wed, Oct 10, 2018 at 4:02 PM Nico Zanferrari <nicoz...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> Hello, >> >> I'm playing with the web2py-book app, in order to make it python 3 >> compatible and also to improve it a bit.
