what would be the estimated effort for Python 3 compatibility?

[xihan]

Since twistedpy now is working with python 3.4, I wonder how much effort it would be to make this project also py3 compatible.

I noticed mainly two things:
(1) except Exception, e
(2) str vs byte

I'm not asking anyone to do the work, just curious if someone has an idea if this is hard.
I can educate myself about writing py2/3 compatible code and help as well.

Thanks!

Question would be what's the status of Python 3 and Twisted. I haven't touched any of this in a while and have no desire to do so. In fact I gave up on Python because of this messed up transition from 2 to 3.

With a good unit test suite like txredisapi has, I dont think it would be terribly difficult. Rely on six for handling the details and it usually goes quickly.

Thanks fiorix, dpkg for the information.

I will study six (and how other libs use it) and try my best to contribute.
