Python 2 is going away. It behooves us to think about this now so that we can figure out our library situation, rewrite and rearchitect things, and generally have time to switch to Python 3 leisurely. This tracker covers all the work required to switch to Python 3.
I'm thinking this is a good plan of attack: 1. make a list of requirements which don't support Python 3; write up a bug for each one 2. deal with all those bugs: remove code, rewrite code, update libraries, switch to different libraries, etc 3. update socorro code and Docker infrastructure to work with Python 3 Maybe this is a 2018q1 project? In the meantime, as we make changes, we should be asking ourselves, "Will this work with Python 3?"
Step 1 is probably a good 2017q4 goal

We're all set with requirements now--all the requirements support Python 3. We have a rough infrastructure for running tests in Python 3. This will let us work through updating code and tests incrementally. We should fix linting with flake8 in Python 3 first. Once that's done, one way to break up the work in chunks is this: 1. socorro * socorro.lib * socorro.external * socorro.external.boto * socorro.external.postgres * socorro.external.es 2. crontabber 3. processor 4. webapp Helpful resources: Python porting guide: https://docs.python.org/3/howto/pyporting.html particularly this section: https://docs.python.org/3/howto/pyporting.html#update-your-code Cheat sheet: Writing Python 2-3 compatible code http://python-future.org/compatible_idioms.html#essential-syntax-differences Supporting Python 3: An in-depth guide http://python3porting.com/ Six documentation: https://pythonhosted.org/six/
Just so I don't forget where I wrote it again, I wrote up some docs on iteration steps here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1460035#c2

A big change in python 2 and python 3 is the base string data type. ascii(python 2) and unicode(python 3). Many errors will come from pivoting the desired behavior of these data types. Many of the test failed because of the discrepancies in data types for what these test were expecting. Majority of the task will be finding where the data changed to fix it accordingly and modifying or removing test. Code isn't commented very much so stay in constant contact with the lead dev asking about the stack traces from error output and each individual unit test if need be. Steps to solving I used were: If you don't know python start here: https://github.com/gregmalcolm/python_koans (learn the language as much as possible) - Will help sparingly because the code is written in sophisticated way beyond any of these test suites but it still helps Problem solving: 1) Check python 2/3 cheat sheet http://python-future.org/compatible_idioms.html#essential-syntax-differences 2) check six library for desired import functionality 3) Stack trace - Check the code in working env. Trace functions looking for value modifications as far as possible - If web services are involved look up what you can about whats going on with the code as it pertains to the web service - Consider using conditional statements for doing something if its a Python 2 env or python 3 env. - talk to lead dev on what you can assume about the test in possibly changing the test in the testing and expected values. There is more commentary on the specific problems I faced on the work I did. They haven't all been the same but the methods I used in solving them were similar. https://github.com/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Aceddy-cedd+archived%3Afalse+is%3Aclosed
