[PKG-Openstack-devel] Bug#761294: python-bootstrapform: Python 3 support

[Sunil Mohan Adapa]

Package: python-bootstrapform
Version: 3.1.0-3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

Plinth, a UI for Freedombox uses python-bootstrapform. We are looking to move
to Python 3 to use some python3 only packages. Bootstrapfrom is the last
dependency that needs Python3 support. It would be very nice to have Python 3
support for bootstrapform. Upstream already supports Python 3 so generating a
binary of Python 3 in debian package is all that is left.

The attached patch takes care of generating the Python3 binary package. It
moves the build system to pybuild (recommended) to make this easy. I have done
the following to tests on my changes:

- Checked that test cases are running for python2 and python3 during build
- Verified that the binary and sources generated after the changes are
identical to those before the patch (except where changes are intentional).

Hoping for an upload with Python 3 support.

Thank you,
