Building site requires Python 2

[lordmauve]

Attempting to install the build dependencies for the site under Python 3.4, I get this message:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Presumably wok doesn't support Python 3.

[snim2]

I would guess so. I've always built the site with 2.7. The travis config for Wok only tests 2.7:

https://github.com/mythmon/wok/blob/master/.travis.yml

:-(

I'm going to close this as the issue lies upstream.

@snim2 I think @lordmauve is making a good point here. PyCon UK should be Python 3-able. Re-opening for the sake of visibility.

I had the same issue and looked into it at the time... wok is the issue,
and it's not Python 3 yet. Nor is there AFAICT any real movement to make it
happy with Python3.

The first time I tried to use wok I was using a machine with only Python 3
installed and ran into the same issue.

This reminds me that at that time, we had a suggestion that George or
someone could lead a sprint about either fixing wok for Python3 and/or
testing our content in sphinx.

Just a heads up that I'm working on this. Hopefully someone can finish the work in the sprint tomorrow.

Requirements changes that work:
-e git+https://github.com/tBaxter/vobject.git@5bdf21751a6f443045e05db862e00be5bbd006f3#egg=vobject
-e git+https://github.com/jneves/wok.git@ad9145705014b58a23165d920aebc226818a6834#egg=wok

I'm working on LinkChecker at the moment. According to https://github.com/wummel/linkchecker/blob/master/doc/python3.txt there's a solution for all dependencies of it.

No other dependencies actually fail to install, so hopefully we can get there.

LinkChecker! <3

[jneves]

Current work is at https://github.com/jneves/pyconuk.org/tree/python3. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be able to finish linkchecker.

[jneves]

I was mistaken, as linkchecker is actually commented out and not used, it's actually fixed ;).

[jneves]

Ok, it's mostly working at: https://github.com/jneves/pyconuk.org/tree/python3 - I seem to have broken the hooks that generate the flat schedule and whateves generates the ics. If I find a way of fixing that, I'll do a pull request.

[inglesp]

Hey @jneves -- keep up the good work!

[jneves]

Yes, fixed the hooks :)
