patman: Convert byte arrays to strings

2017-04-13T17:43:49Z

os.read() returns a byte array in Python 3.5.2 and needs to be converted into a string. Check if the returned value is an instance of bytes and if it is decode it as a utf-8 string. If it is not a utf-8 encoded string the decoding may fail with an exception. Prior to this fix the comparisions check data == "" would fail when data was b'' and would cause an infinite memory leaking loop. joins would also fail with an exception below but due to the infinite loop it never made it that far.

patman: Handle non-ascii characters in names

2017-02-08T13:12:16Z

When gathering addresses for the Cc list patman would encounter a UnicodeDecodeError due to non-ascii characters in the author name. Address this by explicitly using utf-8 when building the Cc list. Signed-off-by: Chris Packham Acked-by: Simon Glass

patman: Format checkpatch messages for IDE throwback

2017-02-08T13:07:35Z

It is convenient to be able to deal with checkpatch warnings in the same way as build warnings. Tools such as emacs and kate can quickly locate the source file and line automatically. To achieve this, adjust the format to match the C compiler, and output to stderr. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

patman: Fix doctest StringIO import for python 3.x

2016-10-09T15:30:32Z

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. Signed-off-by: Paul Burton Acked-by: Simon Glass

patman: Use items() to iterate over dictionaries

2016-10-09T15:30:32Z

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

2016-10-09T15:30:32Z

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. Signed-off-by: Paul Burton Acked-by: Simon Glass

patman: Make exception handling python 3.x safe

2016-10-09T15:30:32Z

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. Signed-off-by: Paul Burton Acked-by: Simon Glass

patman: Make print statements python 3.x safe

2016-10-09T15:30:32Z

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. Signed-off-by: Paul Burton Acked-by: Simon Glass

patman: Replace tabs with spaces

2016-10-09T15:30:32Z

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. Signed-off-by: Paul Burton Acked-by: Simon Glass

patman: Flush output when there is no newline

2016-10-09T15:30:32Z

Output which does not include a newline will not be displayed unless flushed. Add a flush to ensure that it becomes visible. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass
