Python 3 introduces some language changes that cause issues when running c_client.py. This also breaks compatibility with Python 2.5 since it does not support the "as" statement in try/except blocks and does not have reduce() in the functools package. The main changes are: * try/except blocks require `except ... as ...:` to resolve syntactical ambiguity * map() and filter() return iterators rather than lists in Python 3 * reduce() is now in functools package (and not built-in in Python 3) * Dictionaries don't have a has_key() method in Python 3 * None and int types can't be directly compared in Python 3 * print() is a statement in Python 3 See http://diveintopython3.org/porting-code-to-python-3-with-2to3.html and PEP-3110 for details. Verified on Python 2.6.5 and 3.1.3. Signed-off-by: David Coles <dcoles@gaikai.com> Signed-off-by: Julien Danjou <julien@danjou.info> |

About libxcb
============
libxcb provides an interface to the X Window System protocol, which
replaces the current Xlib interface. It has several advantages over
Xlib, including:
- size: small, simple library, and lower memory footprint
- latency hiding: batch several requests and wait for the replies later
- direct protocol access: interface and protocol correspond exactly
- proven thread support: transparently access XCB from multiple threads
- easy extension implementation: interfaces auto-generated from XML-XCB
Xlib can also use XCB as a transport layer, allowing software to make
requests and receive responses with both, which eases porting to XCB.
However, client programs, libraries, and toolkits will gain the most
benefit from a native XCB port.
Please report any issues you find to the freedesktop.org bug tracker,
