[vtk-developers] Update: Making Tests Python 3/2 compatible.

[Andrew Maclean]

Hi All,
   Git and I had an argument about rebasing ... I lost the argument. [git
+1, Andrew -1]

Consequently I have had to create a new merge request:
https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/merge_requests/518

I have picked up all of David's comments from the old merge request and the
results (on my machine) are:
99% tests passed, 4 tests failed out of 489

Total Test time (real) = 990.25 sec

The following tests FAILED:
        1935 - vtkRenderingTkPython-cursor3D (Failed)
        1936 - vtkRenderingTkPython-TestTextActor3D (Failed)
        1937 - vtkRenderingTkPython-TestTkRenderWidget (Failed)
        1938 - vtkRenderingTkPython-TestTkRenderWindowInteractor (Failed)
Errors while running CTest

If no one objects, would like to defer these fails to a later merge request.

David, I have a question about Python 3.2:
In reading the documentation, this version of python accepted strings like
unicode('The Zen of VTK') but not u'The Zen of VTK' which is accepted in
Python 2.7/3.3+.

Is it safe to use:
from __future__ import unicode_literals

and will Python 3.2 then accept statements like:
zen =  u'The Zen of VTK'

Can someone test this on Python 3.2, it works on Python 3.4 and Python 2.7.

If it doesn't work, are there any alternatives?


Regards
    Andrew
