Python 3 preparation: update string translate method call in cgi/accept_language.py. The str translate method in Python 3 is sufficiently different from that in Python 2 that different arguments are needed here. Note that the existing code "ascii = ''.join([chr(x) for x in range(256)])" is redundant with both versions (in Python 2, None can be used instead as the first translate argument from Python 2.6 onwards).

def preset_new(db, cl, nodeid, newvalues):
    """ Make sure the status is set on new issues"""

    if 'status' in newvalues and newvalues['status']:
        return

    new = db.status.lookup('new')
    newvalues['status'] = new


def init(db):
    # fire before changes are made
    db.issue.audit('create', preset_new)
