[server] Port BFSS to py3k
The BFSS API changes in python 3:
* 'defaultdir' MUST be a unicode object
* 'fsencoding' MUST NOT be set
In python 2, fsencoding handles both the encoding of file paths on the
file system (utf-8 by default, but the system may actually be using
something else) and the encoding of file paths that will be stored in
the database.
So in python 3, we wipe the slate clean:
* rely on sys.getfilesystemencoding() to convert unicode objects to
bytes
* always encode paths to utf-8 for storage in the database
Caveat emptor / here be dragons:
* sys.getfilesystemencoding() depends on the current locale, which
therefore MUST be set properly
* when migrating an existing instance from py2 to py3, one MAY need
to reencode file paths stored in the database

|cubicweb| - The Semantic Web is a construction game!
=====================================================
|cubicweb| is a semantic web application framework, licensed under the LGPL,
that empowers developers to efficiently build web applications by reusing
components (called `cubes`) and following the well known object-oriented design
principles.
Main Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* an engine driven by the explicit :ref:`data model
<TutosBaseCustomizingTheApplicationDataModel>` of the application,
* a query language named :ref:`RQL <RQL>` similar to W3C's SPARQL,
* a :ref:`selection+view <TutosBaseCustomizingTheApplicationCustomViews>`
mechanism for semi-automatic XHTML/XML/JSON/text generation,
* a library of reusable :ref:`components <Cube>` (data model and views) that
fulfill common needs,
* the power and flexibility of the Python_ programming language,
* the reliability of SQL databases, LDAP directories, Subversion and Mercurial
for storage backends.
Built since 2000 from an R&D effort still continued, supporting 100,000s of
daily visits at some production sites, |cubicweb| is a proven end to end solution
for semantic web application development that promotes quality, reusability and
efficiency.
QuickStart
~~~~~~~~~~
The impatient developer will move right away to :ref:`SetUpEnv` then to :ref:`ConfigEnv`.
