Current Python 3k support in SQLAlchemy is provided by a customized
2to3 script which wraps Python's 2to3 tool.
-This document will refer to the Python 2.6 interpreter binary as
-"python26" and the Python 3.xx interpreter binary as "python3".
+Installing Distribute
+---------------------
-To build the Python 3K version, use the Python 2.6 interpreter to
-run the 2to3 script on the lib/ directory, and optionally the test/
-directory. The -w flag indicates that the new files should be
-written.
+Distribute should be installed with the Python3 installation. The
+distribute bootloader is included.
- python26 sa2to3.py ./lib/ ./test/ -w
+Running as a user with permission to modify the Python distribution,
+install Distribute:
-You now have a Python 3 version of SQLAlchemy in lib/.
+ python3 distribute_setup.py
+
-Current 3k Issues
------------------
+Installing SQLAlchemy in Python 3
+---------------------------------
-Current bugs and tickets related to Py3k are on the Py3k milestone in trac:
+Once Distribute is installed, SQLAlchemy can be installed directly.
+The 2to3 process will kick in which takes several minutes:
-http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/query?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&milestone=py3k
+ python3 setup.py install
+
+Converting Tests, Examples, Source to Python 3
+----------------------------------------------
+
+To convert all files in the source distribution, run
+SQLAlchemys "sa2to3.py" script, which monkeypatches a preprocessor
+onto the 2to3 tool:
+
+ python sa2to3.py ./lib/ ./test/ ./examples/ -w
+
+The above will rewrite all files in-place in Python 3 format.
Running Tests
-------------
-The unit test runner, described in README.unittests, is built on
-Nose, and uses a plugin that is ordinarily installed using setuptools
-entry points. At the time of this writing setuptools isn't available
-for Python 3 although the "Distribute" project does seem to provide support.
-Additionally, Nose itself is only available in an old version for Python 3,
-which is available at http://bitbucket.org/jpellerin/nose3/ .
+To run the unit tests, ensure Distribute is installed as above,
+and also that at least the ./lib/ and ./test/ directories have been converted
+to Python 3 using the source tool above. A Python 3 version of Nose
+can be acquired from Bitbucket using Mercurial:
-To run the unit tests using the old version of nose and without the usage of
-setuptools, use the "sqla_nose.py" script:
+ hg clone http://bitbucket.org/jpellerin/nose3/
+ cd nose3
+ python3 setup.py install
+
+The tests can then be run using the "nosetests3" script installed by the above,
+using the same instructions in README.unittests.
+
+Current 3k Issues
+-----------------
+
+Current bugs and tickets related to Py3k are on the Py3k milestone in trac:
+
+http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/query?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&milestone=py3k
- python3 sqla_nose.py
-
-When running with Python 3, lots of debug output is dumped to the console.
-This is due to hacking around the old version of Nose to support the
-SQLAlchemy test plugin without setuptools (details at
-http://groups.google.com/group/nose-dev/browse_thread/thread/c6a25531baaa2531).

+
+ from distribute_setup import use_setuptools

+
+If you want to require a specific version of setuptools, set a download
