Installation

Supports Python 2.6, 2.7, and 3.3+

$ pip install py3kwarn

…or to install from the git repository:

$ pip install -e git+git://github.com/liamcurry/py3kwarn.git#egg=py3kwarn

Usage with vim

You can use py3kwarn with syntastic. If you want to use py3kwarn with another syntax checker (like flake8), then you will have to add this to your vim config:

let g:syntastic_python_checkers=['flake8', 'py3kwarn']

Usage from the command line

$ py3kwarn example.py
example.py:2:1: PY3K (FixApply) apply(hello, args, kwargs) -> hello(*args, **kwargs)
example.py:5:1: PY3K (FixBasestring) basestring -> str
example.py:11:1: PY3K (FixCallable) callable('hello') -> isinstance('hello', collections.Callable)
example.py:14:1: PY3K (FixDict) d.keys() -> list(d.keys())
example.py:15:1: PY3K (FixDict) d.iteritems(); -> iter(d.items());
example.py:16:1: PY3K (FixDict) d.viewvalues(); -> d.values();
example.py:19:1: PY3K (FixExcept) try:import asdf;except E, T:pass; -> try:import asdf;except E as T:pass;
example.py:25:1: PY3K (FixExec) exec code in ns1, ns2; -> exec(code, ns1, ns2);
example.py:28:1: PY3K (FixExecfile) execfile('test.py') -> exec(compile(open('test.py').read(), 'test.py', 'exec'))
example.py:31:1: PY3K (FixFilter) filter(lambda x: x, [1, 2, 3]) -> [x for x in [1, 2, 3] if x]
example.py:41:1: PY3K (FixFuture) from __future__ import absolute_import ->
example.py:44:1: PY3K (FixHasKey) d.has_key('foobar') -> 'foobar' in d
example.py:56:1: PY3K (FixInput) input('FixInput') -> eval(input('FixInput'))
example.py:59:1: PY3K (FixIntern) intern(s) -> sys.intern(s)

Testing

Testing can be done with make test. py3kwarn also supports tox, which assumes pythonbrew is installed. This enables quickly testing changes in many versions of python. Take a look at the tox.ini file for more details.

TODO

• Friendlier messages.

• A flake8 extension.

• Use argparse to add smarter options.

• Flags to ignore certain errors

• Compatibility mode, where warning messages provide suggestions to write forwards compatible code. Make this the default.

• Make it faster. Right now it is quite slow compared to other syntax checkers. Major refactoring may be necessary.
