Full Python 3 compatibility

[GuillaumeDerval]

I spent some hours to make PyLTI pass the tests again with Python 3 (tested with 2.7, 3.4 and 3.5, I'm not sure it will pass with Python 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 since they don't support the u prefix from what I remember)

I dropped oauth, since oauth2 is a fork, but oauth2 itself has some problems, which I had to fix manually (see classes SignatureMethod_HMAC_SHA1_Unicode, SignatureMethod_PLAINTEXT_Unicode, Request_Fix_Duplicate) (joestump/python-oauth2#207 joestump/python-oauth2#197).

It fixes #58 as a bonus too.

100% of the test passes with both python 2.7, 3.4 and 3.5, and the lib was tested on edX with Python 3.5, it works flawlessly.

@amir-qayyum-khan (or maybe @giocalitri if you have some downtime) can you look at this?

[giocalitri]

I will take a look

[giocalitri]

I think we should use the six library for these imports

[giocalitri]

@GuillaumeDerval thanks a lot for your contribution, we really appreciated.

I had some minor comments that actually made me think I should probably fix some other minor things in this project eventually.

Thanks again.

[GuillaumeDerval]

I applied most of your comments, and updated the README :-)

Would you like that I squash the commits together?

[giocalitri]

Thanks for the changes.
Yes, please squash.
We will need to make some tests,so the actual merge can take some time.

[pdpinch]

@giocalitri I took a look at MIT-licensed code (here and here) and it's compatible with our BSD license. It's fine to merge from a licensing perspective.

I still need to find a good test case.

[GuillaumeDerval]

Any news on this? It would be nice a py3 compatible version on pip :-)

[pdpinch]

@giocalitri can we merge & release this?

[perllaghu]

I was about to raise an issue to address this very issue - do we have any movement on this?

[pdpinch]

It's passed code review, but we haven't had time to do a functional test. Would you mind giving this branch a try and letting us know if it works for you?

[perllaghu]

It installs just fine in a virtualenv, however it's not installing into a docker container:

Create a Dockerfile in an otherwise empty directory

FROM ubuntu:16.04

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
  git \
  python3.5 \
  python3-pip

# Load Python modules from requirements.txt
RUN pip3 install git+https:/GuillaumeDerval/pylti@py3-restore#egg=PyLTI

then run
docker build .

produces an error:

You are using pip version 8.1.1, however version 9.0.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.
The command '/bin/sh -c pip3 install git+https:/GuillaumeDerval/pylti@py3-restore#egg=PyLTI' returned a non-zero code: 1

[perllaghu]

We needed to add

RUN locale-gen en_GB.UTF-8
ENV LC_ALL en_GB.UTF-8

to the Dockerfile, and then we could add git+https:/GuillaumeDerval/pylti@py3-restore#egg=PyLTI to the requirements.txt file for the Django app

The app installs, and django-lti-provider installs fine.

I've not yet tested any LTI functionality though.

[nikolas]

I'm trying to use this library in Python 3 - can someone merge this and make a new release?

[nikolas]

FYI - until this is merged and released, I've forked pylti with these changes and made a new release here: https:/ccnmtl/pylti/releases/tag/0.5.0

[pdpinch]

I'm sorry that this PR has been neglected @nikolas. Were you able to use this branch as is, or did you have to make further changes?

[nikolas]

No problem, it happens. Yeah, this branch is working as is for me, if that helps.

[giocalitri]

I am going to merge this.
Thanks @GuillaumeDerval for the contribution and everybody for the patience.
