A sidenote on bytestrings/unicode (typically the biggest headache in
py2 -> py3 ports).
Python 3 or not, I once lost a few hours of sleep because we all
define field descriptions with plain quotes (thus, in py2,
bytestrings), but the translation system actually returns unicode.
That was maybe 6.1, but I guess it is still like that.
In theory, in a functional addon (inside the framework things get
more
complicated) we should probably handle unicode only, letting the
framework do the right encoding/decoding up the stack.
I find this a bad practice, and IMHO something like from __future__
import unicode_literals could force us to do that.

Hi all,
In a merge proposal for 7.0. came up the question of what Python
versions
should the code be compatible with.
In particular, a dictionay comprehension is used the, available in
Python
2.7 but not compatible with Python 2.6.
For reference, the MP is:
https://code.launchpad.net/~dreis-pt/project-service/7.0-issue_task-dr/+merge/195985
So, the question here is:
Regarding OCA reviewed modules, should the code targeting OpenERP >=
7.0 be
made to keep Python 2.6 compatibility?

I'm not sure OpenERP 7 can run on Python 2.6 (but I could well be
deeply
mistaken).
I really wish we could mandate targetting Python 2.7 for OCA modules
and
take advantage of the additions brought by that release. It is
nowadays
fairly easy to get a python2.7 interpreter even if your distro does
not
provide one (virtualenv). We should also gently nag people about
using the
__future__ imports designed to ease porting to Python 3.x. The idea
behind
this is not to block useful modules but to start getting
contributors in the
mood for the change. This will save grief later.
