[Scons-dev] python3-port branch merged to default and then closed

[Bill Deegan]

Greetings,

After a bunch of work py2 is passing all tests on python3-port branch.
So I've merged that to default and closed the python3-port branch.

All further changes/pull requests for py2/3 should be done against default.

Currently the bulk of the py3 issues are the following:
1) dynamic loading of python modules (Specifically the tool modules)
doesn't work with the imp module (which is what's currently used) and works
differently under python3. I have some trial work using importlib which is
used when run under python3 (see src/engine/SCons/Tool/__init__.py and
search for importlib)
2) many tests are failing based on unicode/str differences.  In many cases
this is due to diff'ing done in scons's test infrastructure expecting ascii
string (py2) and not unicode (py3) or byte (py3).

Do we have any importlib guru's around?

-Bill
