MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Attention All Plugin Devs: Remove vestiges from python 2?

KevinH · 05-27-2020, 01:02 PM

Okay I took a shot at this. As far as I can tell no plugins outside my own use unipath.py and very very few use compatibility_utils.py.

That said our official testplugin does test for the presence of compatibility_utils. So it will have to be updated.

KindleImport uses compatibility_utils.py but supplies its own via KindleUnpack core files.

MarkDownImport uses compatibility_utils.py to just get iswindows but that is a one-line replacement fix.

So far I have seen no serious issues against removing these vestiges of python 2.7 support.

So if anyone has any issues or objections or reasons to keep it around, please let me know as soon as possible.

Thanks!
