Release a Python 3 compatible version on PyPI about svglib HOT 13 CLOSED

Definitely! I'm aiming for a release 0.7.0 before 2017! To get there it might help me to re-focus on applying some remaining face lift details in setup.py and the test suite and stash work on svg2pdf siblings...

Sure, good plan!

Well, time is running out for 2016. Is there anything blocking a release, or making it mandatory? I mean we can also do it over the next few days. Shall we have a todo list, declare a feature freeze or that kind of thing? Do we want to release despite issue #47? I would also like to include a tested tox.ini file which I'd prefer to run on something like an Amazon EC2 box, maybe with a little deployment script in this repo. I just have to collect code from other projects...

from svglib.

No rush... but on another side, nothing prevents re-releasing in a short time. A release would have the advantage to get some more testing.
Issue #47 is not a blocker, as it might well be an issue we can not resolve ourselves.
A CI server (travis-ci.org or anything else) would be nice, but I don't know if it's acceptable to download stuff from Wikipedia at each run...

Ok, then I conclude we should rather I'm for a release in early January. Maybe you can comment on what you expect about CSS and gradients support in that context? Thanks!

from svglib.

I'm not sure to have time to work on new features in the short term, so feel free to release when you want. For me, it'll already be a great progress over 0.6.3.

from svglib.

Sure! It's already much improved now over the old 0.6.3! I'll make s list of files with any kind of issues I find after looking at all output PDFs from the test suite.

@claudep @replabrobin Is there any work on features left to be done before a new release of svglib? I'm thinking of skipping 0.7 and bump it to 0.8, reserving a little room for gradients which might then justify 1.0. We should also make very clear which reportlab version works best with any new svglib to be released. As far as I'm concerned it might happen the next weekend.

from svglib.

I would say that there are always new features that could be done. Let's have a release as soon as possible. Nothing prevents us of doing more releases as new features are committed.

Hi!, If I can do something to help out, please let me know! I can test for the Python 3.5 on Mac, Win7, and Ubuntu, on Windows I am using an Environment, that I installed myself, but on mac and linux I use Anaconda 4.2.0 (64-bit). I am using reportlab currently in a project, and I have a few svg files, that i would like to use...

from svglib.

@skidzo Sounds great! Any help is welcome! Testing is always a good thing (installing pytest-xdist accelerates that quite a bit). I'm mostly on Miniconda 2 and 3 on a Mac. @claudep is likely on Linux. @replabrobin will certainly have some Win version, but I assume that's also the most neglected platform (I certainly ignore it ;-).

If you find any issues on your SVG files (apart from gradients), please consider providing a simplified version, if only temporarily. That's all that comes to my mind now.

Done, hooray! https://pypi.python.org/pypi/svglib/0.8.0
