A couple failures bisected to the implementation of PEP 495 -- Local Time Disambiguation.

Likely the time zone docs need some small additions to acknowledge the existence of PEP 495 -- even if the code can't rely on it until we drop support for Python < 3.6.

comment:11 by Tim Graham, 8 years ago

I setup a more complete test environment that includes all of the test suite dependencies and identified a few more failures fixed in the above commits.

2 failures remain as of Django b5aac66b28c615b2bda63548cbd695dbb5a0c381 and cpython d614d687d9db1100d0a4ec8c67e0cb3ce773342b due to a sqlparse incompatibility with Python 3.6. I submitted a PR to fix it and it's merged awaiting the next release.

comment:12 by Tim Graham, 8 years ago

cpython fixed compatibility with sqlparse in https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/1a2b8398f045/ so a new sqlparse release isn't needed and all tests are passing as of now.

comment:13 by Andrii Soldatenko, 8 years ago

just tested with last Django master e044026dce063ec53c16d0f755ec75eb8c84b318 and Python 3.6.0b4 works for me.
BTW where can I find how to add or check test results for Python3.6 and latest version of Django?
I see only Python3.5 http://djangoci.com/job/django-1.10/

comment:14 by Tim Graham, 8 years ago

I have a local Jenkins running with the cpython 3.6 branch and Django master that I check every couple days. I don't think we'll add Python 3.6 compatibility to older versions of Django such as 1.10 but we'll discuss it on the DevelopersMailingList if anyone feel it's important.

comment:15 by Anthony King, 8 years ago

py3.6 breaks calling super() (in the python3 style) inside Models with:
RuntimeError: super(): empty __class__ cell

This is also present on 1.8 and 1.10

class ModelToBreak(models.Model):
    def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
        return super().save(*args, **kwargs)
>>> m = ModelToBreak()
>>> m.save()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/cybo/work/3.6-test/testing/d/tests.py", line 9, in test_empty_class_fail
    m.save()
  File "/home/cybo/work/3.6-test/testing/d/models.py", line 5, in save
    return super().save(*args, **kwargs)
RuntimeError: super(): empty __class__ cell

comment:16 by Tim Graham, 8 years ago

Thanks, the relevant commit in cpython is https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/feb1ae9d5381.

I'm not sure if Django or cpython is at fault.

comment:17 by Tim Graham, 8 years ago

After some discussion on the cpython issue, I've created a PR to address the issue, but cpython may also restore backwards-compatibility and add a deprecation path.

comment:18 by Anthony King, 8 years ago

Thanks. I'll check all other MetaClasses for similar behaviour today or tomorrow.
Will also add Py3 tests for them.

comment:19 by Tim Graham, 8 years ago

I'm not particularly worried about tests since cpython added a deprecation path. Also, when we drop Python 2 compatibility in master in January, we'll probably change all super() calls to the new style.

comment:28 by Jeroen Pulles, 7 years ago

Would it be possible to backport dd99e69fa8f89263d0396f23e0db9aa8fa667b01 (metaclass magic) to Django 1.8?

I'm seeing quite a few warnings for this, hiding the more useful warnings...

comment:29 by Tim Graham, 7 years ago

No, Django 1.8 doesn't have official support for Python 3.6 and only receives data loss and security fixes its end-of-life in April 2018.

Perhaps you can use warnings.filterwarnings() to hide the warnings.

comment:30 by Jeroen Pulles, 7 years ago

Okay. For the record: Adding this snippet to my development settings in my otherwise meta-class-free project, works for me:

import warnings
warnings.filterwarnings(
    action="ignore", 
    message=".*Was __classcell__ propagated to type[.]__new__.*")
