Fix string/bytes issues under python 3.
1) cgi/client.py: override cgi.FieldStorage's make_file so that file
is always created in binary/byte mode. This means that json (and
xml) are bytes not strings.
2) rest.py: try harder to find dicttoxml in roundup directory or on
sys.path. This just worked under python 2 but python 3 only
searches sys.path by default and does not search relative like
python 2.
3) rest.py: replace headers.getheader call removed from python 3 with
equivalent code.
4) rest.py: make value returned from dispatch into bytes not string.
5) test/caseinsensitivedict.py, test/test_CaseInsensitiveDict.py:
get code from stackoverflow that implements a case insensitive key
dict. So dict['foo'], dict['Foo'] are the same entry. Used for
looking up headers in mocked http rewuset header array.
6) test/rest_common.py: rework tests for etags and rest to properly
supply bytes to the called routines. Calls to s2b and b2s and use
of BytesIO and overriding make_file in cgi.FieldStorage to try to
make sure it works under python 3.

==================== Implementation notes ==================== [see also the roundup package docstring] There have been some modifications to the spec. I've marked these in the source with 'XXX' comments when I remember to. In short: Class.find() - may match multiple properties, uses keyword args. Class.filter() - isn't in the spec and it's very useful to have at the Class level. CGI interface index view specifier layout part - lose the '+' from the sorting arguments (it's a reserved URL character ;). Just made no prefix mean ascending and '-' prefix descending. ItemClass - renamed to IssueClass to better match it only having one hypderdb class "issue". Allowing > 1 hyperdb class breaks the "superseder" multilink (since it can only link to one thing, and we'd want bugs to link to support and vice-versa). template - the call="link()" is handled by special-case mechanisms in my top-level CGI handler. In a nutshell, the handler looks for a method on itself called 'index%s' or 'item%s' where %s is a class. Most items pass on to the templating mechanism, but the file class _always_ does downloading. It'll probably stay this way too... template - call="link(property)" may be used to link "the current item" (from an index) - the link text is the property specified. template - added functions that I found very useful: List, History and Submit. template - items must specify the message lists, history, etc. Having them by default was sometimes not wanted. template - index view determines its default columns from the template's ``tal:condition="request/show/<property>"`` directives. template - menu() and field() look awfully similar now .... ;) roundup_admin.py - the command-line tool has a lot more commands at its disposal ----------------- Back to `Table of Contents`_ .. _`Table of Contents`: index.html
