[Bug 1013171] Re: Many package hooks not ported to python3

[Edward Donovan]

Hi all - I was starting to redo the dkms patch, but it looks like
Brian's taking that.

Thanks for the "Thanks".  :)   For future ref, I have email addresses on
my LP page, so this makes me wonder if they're properly visible.  There
are two, anyway, and <edward.donovan at numble.net> would be the better one
to use.  The launchpad at numble is where bug mail goes, for filtering.
Maybe that's not the smoothest way to do it.  (Maybe this process
question is best asked somewhere else; I don't know.)

I'm also a uncertain, after reading your comments, if the patches should
be redone, to work better with python 2 or 3, as you're talking about.
When there was a print statement in these hooks, my little patches just
made it a python 3 function, with parentheses.  I was just thinking
about python 3 compatibility, and didn't add any

    from __future__ import print_statement

lines.  Would it be best to redo them, that way?  Thanks.
