Python 3 / wxPython 4 Support

[swt2c]

Now that wxPython 4 is out (with Python 3 support) it would be great if wammu supported wxPython 4 and Python 3.

Patches are welcome, it's unlikely that I will find time for that.

[swt2c]

I may take a stab at it. I'm assuming you would want to retain Python 2 / wxPython 3.x support as well?

[nijel]

I would not mind dropping Python 2 support

Hello ,
@swt2c , now with Fedora dropping python 2 [1] and [2]

[swt2c]

Yes, @sergiomb2 that was my motivation in the first place. However, I'm not very motivated as I don't actually use wammu.

[sergiomb2]

ya , even https://github.com/gammu/wammu/blob/master/setup.py is not python 3 compatible ...
I don't use this software since 2 or 4 years ago with usb pen mobile network 3G

[swt2c]

Maybe just retire it from Fedora?

[nijel]

The same issue is on Debian, see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=938807

[sergiomb2]

Let me know if any progress on Debian package I will follow it on Fedora .

Thanks

[nijel]

Unless somebody steps up to implement needed changes, the package will be removed.

How does 33faf64 relate to this?

[nijel]

There is no relationship. It is just a bump of a GitHub action...

Hello. I am trying to make Wammu working on Python 3 during spare time at work. It's Windows 7 PC with limited (because security) internet, and I upload many changes at once later at home. I worked with Delphi for several years and Python is new for me but it is very interesting. Hopefully there are a lot of documentation and advice over the web.

Next thing to fix: SMS and Messages export. These are the main things why I use Wammu.
Still no success in loading locale files…

Please check my Wammu fork. Looking forward to any help.

Hi! Any news regarding use of Wammu on Linux having Python 3.9? I went around one issue, but wammu expects wxPython being installed under 2.7.
