1460707 - fix python 3 linting errors

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Socorro :: General, task)

Description

[Will Kahn-Greene [:willkg] ET needinfo? me]

When porting code such that it works with both Python 2 and 3, a good first pass is to run it through flake8. flake8 catches a bunch of Python syntax issues that prevent module loading.

This bug covers using the new test scaffolding and fixing all the flake8 linting issues.

Hi Will,
Could I work on this issue?

[Will Kahn-Greene [:willkg] ET needinfo? me]

We talked on IRC about this and other bugs. I mentioned that we have a couple of interns starting on Monday one or both of which will be working on Python 3 porting work which includes this bug so I want to hold it for a bit.

fix bug 1460707: fixed python 3 lint errors

Fixed linting errors via flake8. Modified code so that test pass in both
python 2 & 3. Most modifications for flake errors were done using find
and replace. New imports were added according to pep8 import
conventions. After linting errors were fixed another crontabber test
failed because explicit type checking wanted 'unicode' type. Unicode
type is only in python 2.A string was passed instead.Checked 2/3 cheat
sheet. Cheat sheet suggested to import from builtins library and use
str. But this failed because the str function doesnt provide the casting
behavior needed. So instead I coerced the string to unicode using its
own decode method. Lastly there was an error of types being used.
Buildin library types vs actual native language types. I used the six
library to import string_types which is a compatibility package for both
python 2 & 3.
