Summer of Code/2014/Proposal to port sugar core to python3 (view source)
Revision as of 12:38, 20 March 2014

At the end of my project, the testing on the sugar toolkit and the sugar core would have improved greatly and I strongly believe that a robust set of unit tests is a must for every project as it eases development. Python 3 has better unicode support and I think a lot of activities based around text would greatly benefit from porting to python 3.

There are several reasons why this project is important to Sugar Labs: (1) we need to keep pace with the projects we depend upon upstream -- Python 3 is being to become de rigour -- and (2) Python 3 has much better support for i18n and unicode -- critical to the global nature of our project. --[[User:Walter|Walter]] ([[User talk:Walter|talk]]) 13:38, 20 March 2014 (EDT)

I plan to write a report every week on my [http://upman.github.io blog] and also discuss with people regularly over the mailing list or the IRC channel.
