[Bug 1516688] Re: Port to Python 3

[Barry Warsaw]

I have two branches which I've submitted to the maintainers.  The first
makes a-x-i bilingual so it should be a low-impact branch to apply in
Debian:

http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/apt-xapian-
index.git/log/?h=bilingual

The second flips the switch to Python 3 so if the above branch is merged
and uploaded, we could carry just a small delta in Ubuntu:

http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/apt-xapian-
index.git/log/?h=py3

Let's see what the Debian maintainers say.  If needed, I'll carry both
deltas in Ubuntu.

Title:
  Port to Python 3

Status in apt-xapian-index package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in apt-xapian-index package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  Now that we have python3-xapian1.3 in Xenial, we can port apt-xapian-
  index to Python 3.  I have a two branches in progress.  The first
  ports a-x-i to bilingual Python 2/3 support, and I hope to get this
  merged upstream.

  Once we have that, the delta to switch to Python 3 is relatively
  small, and my second branch does this.
