2013-12-12 22:25 <SpartanWarrior> hiya guys, is tryton(d) compatible with python3?
2013-12-12 22:35 <pokoli> SpartanWarrior: hi, not currently but AFAIK the main problem is GTK client
2013-12-12 23:34 <nicoe> pokoli, SpartanWarrior: In fact the protocol between the client and the server is not tied to any python version
2013-12-12 23:34 <nicoe> So people can port the server while keeping the client using python2
2013-12-12 23:35 <nicoe> pokoli, I think you're making a confusion with the change to GTK3
2013-12-12 23:36 <pokoli> nicoe: maybe, i heard something about some issue with GTK3 and tryton client in windows. Which prevents the migration to GTK3
2013-12-12 23:36 <nicoe> SpartanWarrior: All the library are ready, so the switch to python3 is a matter of taking some time to make it happen
2013-12-12 23:36 <pokoli> nicoe: I have in my mind that python2 runs GTK2 and python3 runs GTK3, am I right?
2013-12-12 23:36 <nicoe> pokoli: in fact there are modules for GTK2 and GTK3 for python2
2013-12-12 23:37 <nicoe> pokoli: but for python3 they decided not to support GTK2
2013-12-12 23:37 <nicoe> pokoli: which is getting old already
2013-12-12 23:37 <nicoe> pokoli: but you're right the main problem with gtk3 is windows
2013-12-12 23:38 <nicoe> pokoli: and maybe the GenericTreeModel we're using (that was the main problem almost two years ago)
2013-12-12 23:39 <pokoli> nicoe: but windows issues are on latests versions or on older ones?
2013-12-12 23:39 <nicoe> I haven't tested gtk3 on windows yet
2013-12-12 23:39 <nicoe> I think it is only getting stable now
2013-12-12 23:41 <pokoli> nicoe: for me is dificult to test windows versions :(
2013-12-12 23:45 <pokoli> nicoe: Here i can see good news about gtk3, https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695600#c48
2013-12-12 23:50 <nicoe> pokoli: good news, I wonder if the gobject introspection is also supported
2013-12-12 23:51 <pokoli> nicoe: sorry but i don't know what gobject instrospection means
2013-12-12 23:52 <nicoe> pokoli: there is a new architecture in gtk in order to make language binding creation easier
2013-12-12 23:52 <nicoe> pokoli: it is the gobject introspection stuff
2013-12-12 23:52 <nicoe> pokoli: it is the part that is needed to use gtk from python
2013-12-12 23:53 <pokoli> nicoe: will try to read about it, thanks for the explanation
2013-12-12 23:53 <nicoe> pokoli: https://wiki.gnome.org/action/show/Projects/PyGObject?action=show&redirect=PyGObject
2013-12-12 23:53 <nicoe> pokoli: it seems there is a windows installer
