No really :-). It's super experimental but it's there (gitweb). Really I just used 2to3, made a few changes myself, back ported a few bugs that I found in the process and verified all unittests passed. I've also posted up a matrix of runtimes that I've tested the current released version of Director with. If you use Director on one of the untested runtimes please let me know and send me the output of the ./setup.py test command.
The Python3.0 branch of Director can be found in the man Director git repository with a branch name of python3.0.

Director On Different Runtimes @ 2008-10-19 18:55:07

Director works with CPython ... it's what I develop directly on top of and has the biggest user base. When I released director 1.1.0 I ran the tests using the upcoming Jython 2.5 release and it passed ... You can use director 1.1.0 with Jython 2.5 (and probably later). I have not had the same luck with IronPython yet ... I've actually found IronPython can do some os module items via it's nt module. But after finding that out I've found it does not have the warnings, optparse, inspect or types modules which are core to director. I've put some thought into making an abstraction class that can use some of the .net libraries that might be able to do what those modules did but it's a bit more work than I would have expected to do ... I've also been told that I could ship those modules with my library for IronPython users ... but that seems dirty! For now I'll do it this way ... if you use IronPython and want to use director on it shoot me an email (steve m at gnu linux dot net) and let me know ... feel free to pass on any ideas on getting it to work :-)
