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

[Edward Donovan]

chromium-browser has three different things that need to be changed, in
its apport hook.  The print and except statements, I understand what to
do.  The third issue is  a list comprehension, I think.  It looked like
this:

    for ext in entry['extensions']['settings'].keys():

The 2to3 tool wants to wrap that in "list()"  :

    for ext in list(entry['extensions']['settings'].keys()):

That looks fair enough, according to the python 3 docs.  But I don't
really know why this line needs fixing, while

    for plugin in entry['plugins']['plugins_list']:

does not.  I can see that the former line has a method call or
something, with ".keys()".  But since I can't tell you why those are
treated differently, I'd better ask for someone more knowledgeable to
look at this.  Thanks.


** Patch added: "python3 patch for chromium-browser's apport hook.  Needs review."
   https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1013171/+attachment/3204203/+files/chromium-browser.patch

** Description changed:

  Since the description here is the only post that can be updated, it
  seems the best place to keep a changing list.  (The original description
  was brief, and about only one package.)
  
  Working from the archive's Contents file, I got the list of packages
  that keep files under apport/package-hooks.  Below are the packages that
  haven't been tested yet, to my knowledge.  As I get time, I'll test them
  with 2to3, and update the list.  And try to post patches as needed.
