[Sugar-devel] Porting sugar codebase to python3

[James Cameron]

Thanks for your interest.

You've probably not understood the scale and scope of the problem.

You should use Sugar, and use the peer to peer activity collaboration
feature.  You can find some instructions for it at
https://help.sugarlabs.org/en/collaborating.html

Collaboration uses the Telepathy library, and has a few problems.  We
don't yet know if the problems are in Telepathy or in Sugar, or if
they are related to or not related to the recent port to Python 3.

By using Sugar, you will see for yourself some of the problems that
occur.

Specifically, static bindings are "import telepathy", but dynamic
bindings are "from gi.repository import TelepathyGLib".

Look at https://github.com/orgs/sugarlabs/projects and search in page
for Telepathy.

The problems may require work on Telepathy itself, rather than Sugar.
