This page describes efforts to port pylint to Python 3.x

Status of the port

We're really just getting started.

Goals and high level overview of tasks

The idea is to eliminate Python 2.4 compatibility because that will simplify some of the code, and to expand compatibility to 3.0 and 3.1.

• This will require moving logilab common, logilab astng and pylint itself to python 3 using 2to3
• There appear to be test suites for each of these, which can be invoked using the pytest command, which in turn appears to be part of logilab-common itself
• The owners of the code would like to keep the changes compatible with Python 2.5.x, which of course is a bit more involved than targeting 2.6 and up.
