@pochedls when you get around to getting a first cut, it would be great to get this dropped in a branch - let me know if you need write access to the repo..

I just started migrating myself to py3, and hit problems with this library (as you said!)

[pochedls]

@durack1 - I think I got this library to the point where I could import it without error and use trimModelList, but I think I broke Python 2. I could push what I have in a branch if you'd like to look at it or in a couple days I'll have more confidence in my modifications.

[durack1]

@pochedls perfect, if you want to push this to a branch then I can start trying this out with py2, then you can work to ensure py3 works, and I can make sure it's still working in py2..

[pochedls]

@durack1 - I just pushed branch py23. I think one issue (others will surely popup) is that urllib and urllib2 are different.

I'd appreciate if you took a look at this logic. Or I could come up with a couple cases and check-in with you if we have the right behavior when you're back in town.

[durack1]

@pochedls it imports, nice.. Not sure I'd be able to test this until I get back, but looks like you've done most of the work, thanks!

@durack1 @pochedls just following up with this issue, any update? Can I use the durolib in Python 3 env? Thanks.

[pochedls]

Not sure... I also don't think durolib is not setup to work with the new xml files. I think I wrote a function that deals with the new files in Python 3. Shoot @durack1 and I an e-mail and we can discuss implementation.

[durack1]

@lee1043 what function(s) are you using in durolib? @pochedls is right, a couple of the functions are not python3 friendly yet, I was hoping to do this but hit some problems that @pochedls highlighted..

[lee1043]

@durack1 I use trimModelList, is it possible just make this function python3 friendly?

[durack1]

@lee1043 this is the difficult one, as py3 vs py2 changed the logic of lists etc.. @pochedls can elaborate.. I think he mostly ported the function across.. It has already been updated to deal with the new CMIP6 paths..

[lee1043]

@durack1 it would be helpful even before py3. @pochedls could you please point me the durolib version that work with new cmip-dyn? Thanks!

[durack1]

@lee1043 the current 1.1.1 release of durolib should work with cmip-dyn in py2, the py3 version is on the py3 branch (see here) but wasn't updated with the cmip-dyn logic on the new paths
