/!\ this is a huge commit
/!\ starting from this commit, SàT is needs Python 3.6+
/!\ SàT maybe be instable or some feature may not work anymore, this will improve with time
This patch port backend, bridge and frontends to Python 3.
Roughly this has been done this way:
- 2to3 tools has been applied (with python 3.7)
- all references to python2 have been replaced with python3 (notably shebangs)
- fixed files not handled by 2to3 (notably the shell script)
- several manual fixes
- fixed issues reported by Python 3 that where not handled in Python 2
- replaced "async" with "async_" when needed (it's a reserved word from Python 3.7)
- replaced zope's "implements" with @implementer decorator
- temporary hack to handle data pickled in database, as str or bytes may be returned,
to be checked later
- fixed hash comparison for password
- removed some code which is not needed anymore with Python 3
- deactivated some code which needs to be checked (notably certificate validation)
- tested with jp, fixed reported issues until some basic commands worked
- ported Primitivus (after porting dependencies like urwid satext)
- more manual fixes
this plugin open a telnet server which open a Python interpreter and allows to inspect the backend while it is running.
To enable it, the settings "manhole_debug_dangerous_port_int" must be set to the desired TCP port in [DEFAULT] section of sat.conf.
A warning will be logged if the server is enabled.
Currently only a telnet server is available, and no login is required. This may change in the futur to enable login/password and ssh access, or even an XMPP access.
This is a debugging feature and must only be used during development.
Once in the Python interpreter, the "host" variable is accessible.
