Description penguinolog 2019-10-22 08:35:50 UTC

dev-python/nototools: version 0.2.0 released, python 3.7 tests on Travis CI PASS

Python 2.7 EOL is approaching and we still have a bench of Python 2.7-only packages

Comment 1 Dennis Schridde 2019-11-15 19:32:50 UTC

I don't want to hold the version bump back, but maybe the joy over Python 3 compatibility is too early: https://github.com/googlefonts/nototools/issues/472 is not closed yet.

Also note that version 0.2.1 was released meanwhile, which contains "More updates to make Python3 compatible (#496, #497)."

Comment 2 Dennis Schridde 2019-11-15 19:33:46 UTC

Also: HOMEPAGE should be changed to: https://github.com/googlefonts/nototools

Comment 3 Laurent Bachelier 2019-12-04 19:31:30 UTC

nototools depends on fonttools, and now that fonttools 4.0.1 is stable the dependencies are broken (fonttools becoming python 3 only)

First try, for now waiting for https://github.com/googlefonts/nototools/issues/501 ... and also I need to see the proper way of running python_optimize :/

Comment 5 penguinolog 2020-01-21 17:47:24 UTC

Commit e9bd76178d73903c0ebe55f8af0fb8a1f9088b0c to the nototools repo fixes python3 compatibility

Comment 6 penguinolog 2020-01-21 20:30:42 UTC

Extra validation shown, that upstream is still not ready: a lot of code was mechanically fixed, but APIs are broken for python3.
Fixing in possible tempo, but code quality is extremely poor.
