patman: Fix doctest StringIO import for python 3.x

2016-10-09T15:30:32+00:00

In python 3.x StringIO is no longer a module, and the class can instead
be found in the io module. Adjust the code in the doctest input to
account for both.

patman: Use items() to iterate over dictionaries

2016-10-09T15:30:32+00:00

In python 3.x the iteritems() method has been removed from dictionaries,
and the items() method does effectively the same thing. On python 2.x
using items() is a little less efficient since it involves copying data,
but as speed isn't a concern in this code switch to using items() anyway
for simplicity.

patman: Import 'configparser' lower case to be python 3.x safe

2016-10-09T15:30:32+00:00

In python 3.x module names used in import statements are case sensitive,
and the configparser module is named in all lower-case. Import it as such
in order to avoid errors when running with python 3.x.

patman: Make exception handling python 3.x safe

2016-10-09T15:30:32+00:00

Syntax for exception handling is a little more strict in python 3.x.
Convert all uses to a form accepted by both python 2.x & python 3.x.

patman: Make print statements python 3.x safe

2016-10-09T15:30:32+00:00

In python 3.x, print must be used as a function call. Convert all print
statements to the function call style, importing from __future__ where
we print with no trailing newline or print to a file object.

patman: Replace tabs with spaces

2016-10-09T15:30:32+00:00

In preparation for running on python 3.x, which will refuse to run
scripts which mix tabs & spaces for indentation, replace 2 tab
characters present in series.py with spaces.

patman: Flush output when there is no newline

2016-10-09T15:30:32+00:00

Output which does not include a newline will not be displayed unless
flushed. Add a flush to ensure that it becomes visible.

patman: Add a library to handle logging and progress

2016-09-19T03:04:39+00:00

When tools want to display information of varying levels of importance, it
helps to provide the user with control over the verbosity of these messages.
Progress messages work best if they are displayed and then removed from the
display when no-longer relevant.

Add a new tout library (terminal out) to handle these tasks.

patman: Add a tools library for using temporary files

2016-09-19T03:04:38+00:00

For tools which want to use input files and temporary output, it is useful
to have the handling of these dealt with in one place. Add a new library
which allows input files to be read, and output files to be written, all
based on a common directory structure.

patman: Adjust command.Output() to raise an error by default

2016-09-19T03:04:38+00:00

It is more useful to have this method raise an error when something goes
wrong. Make this the default and adjust the few callers that don't want to
use it this way.
