past: compatibility with Python 2 from Python 3
|
|
===============================================
|
|
|
|
``past`` is a package to aid with Python 2/3 compatibility. Whereas ``future``
|
|
contains backports of Python 3 constructs to Python 2, ``past`` provides
|
|
implementations of some Python 2 constructs in Python 3 and tools to import and
|
|
run Python 2 code in Python 3. It is intended to be used sparingly, as a way of
|
|
running old Python 2 code from Python 3 until the code is ported properly.
|
|
|
|
Potential uses for libraries:
|
|
|
|
- as a step in porting a Python 2 codebase to Python 3 (e.g. with the ``futurize`` script)
|
|
- to provide Python 3 support for previously Python 2-only libraries with the
|
|
same APIs as on Python 2 -- particularly with regard to 8-bit strings (the
|
|
``past.builtins.str`` type).
|
|
- to aid in providing minimal-effort Python 3 support for applications using
|
|
libraries that do not yet wish to upgrade their code properly to Python 3, or
|
|
wish to upgrade it gradually to Python 3 style.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here are some code examples that run identically on Python 3 and 2::
|
|
|
|
>>> from past.builtins import str as oldstr
|
|
|
|
>>> philosopher = oldstr(u'\u5b54\u5b50'.encode('utf-8'))
|
|
>>> # This now behaves like a Py2 byte-string on both Py2 and Py3.
|
|
>>> # For example, indexing returns a Python 2-like string object, not
|
|
>>> # an integer:
|
|
>>> philosopher[0]
|
|
'\xe5'
|
|
>>> type(philosopher[0])
|
|
<past.builtins.oldstr>
|
|
|
|
>>> # List-producing versions of range, reduce, map, filter
|
|
>>> from past.builtins import range, reduce
|
|
>>> range(10)
|
|
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
|
|
>>> reduce(lambda x, y: x+y, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
|
|
15
|
|
|
|
>>> # Other functions removed in Python 3 are resurrected ...
|
|
>>> from past.builtins import execfile
|
|
>>> execfile('myfile.py')
|
|
|
|
>>> from past.builtins import raw_input
|
|
>>> name = raw_input('What is your name? ')
|
|
What is your name? [cursor]
|
|
|
|
>>> from past.builtins import reload
|
|
>>> reload(mymodule) # equivalent to imp.reload(mymodule) in Python 3
|
|
|
|
>>> from past.builtins import xrange
|
|
>>> for i in xrange(10):
|
|
... pass
|
|
|
|
|
|
It also provides import hooks so you can import and use Python 2 modules like
|
|
this::
|
|
|
|
$ python3
|
|
|
|
>>> from past.translation import autotranslate
|
|
>>> authotranslate('mypy2module')
|
|
>>> import mypy2module
|
|
|
|
until the authors of the Python 2 modules have upgraded their code. Then, for
|
|
example::
|
|
|
|
>>> mypy2module.func_taking_py2_string(oldstr(b'abcd'))
