[ASCEND] [GSOC 16] About using SWIG for updating the Python Wrapper for Python3

[Dhrumil 2. <dhr...@gm...>]

Hi,

I am Dhrumil Patel presently  in 3rd year  at International Institute of
Information and Technology .I was preparing the proposal for the projects
"FPROPS" and GTK3/Python3. I have worked with SWIG before for making
Python2 wrappers.While going through the documentation of SWIG for support
of Python3,

http://swig.org/Doc2.0/SWIGDocumentation.html#Python_python3support

it mentioned that we just need to use -py3 flag to generate a wrapper code
for Python3. So my question is do we need to modify interface file present
in the /ascend/models/johnpye/fprops/python directory before compiling the
code to get P3 wrapper.

Can you please provide relevant resources for the same. Also there is a
module in python3 named 2to3 which convert the given python2.7 code to
python3 directly.Won't this work here?

Also do I need to prepare two proposals for FPROPS and GTK3/Python3 or it
is ok to provide the relevant details in one?

Thank you.
