py3: use "%f" for formatting floating point number

py3: fix progress() functions to not use "%s" with int Python3 doesn't support "%s" with int arguments (and not with None arguments either, which this code was also using).

py3: make random topic name generation consistent across py2/py3 random.choice() (and others based on random.randint()) changed between py2 and py3 without a way to get the py2 behavior. However, random.random() did not change, so we can re-implement random.choice() based on that.

py3: convert str to bytes before passing to core exception

py3: convert opts keys to bytes before passing to core APIs

evolve: further clarify when update is performed

py3: avoid comparing int and None

py3: avoid "%r" for list of byte strings, which produces b'' on py3

py3: avoid "%r" for byte string, which produces b'' on py3 Replaced by "'%s'", which I think is clearer anyway.

py3: replace str(ctx) by bytes(ctx) These are all for messages to the user and we don't want unicode for that.

py3: use inspect.signature() instead of inspect.getargspec() on py3

py3: use array.array.{to,from}bytes() on py3 array.array.{to,from}string() still exists on py3, but they're deprecated and generate warnings. I've put the compat function in compat.pt for now. We can move into a dedicated pycompat.py if we end up with a lot of py3 compat stuff.

py3: config values can be bytes, but never unicode

py3: call branchmap.items() on py3 and continue to call iteritems() on py2 Mercurial's source transformer also replaces the 'def iteritems(' in branchmap by 'def items(', so we need to call whichever version is there.

py3: switch from iteritems() to items() in the topics extension The only remaining iteritems() call is on branchmap. That will be dealt with in the next patch.

py3: filter() now returns a generator, so wrap when we need a list

py3: don't depend on map() iterating over its input map(some_generator()) in py2 returns a list, while in py3 it returns a generator, so the passed-in generator won't be called unless the returned one is.

py3: implement __bool__ in addition to __nonzero__

py3: replace iter.next() by next(iter)

py3: replace xrange() by range()

py3: read sqlite3 data as bytes The py2 and py3 docs ([1] and [2]) disagree how to get bytes output, but it seems obvious that this should be "bytes" to be compatible with both. [1] https://docs.python.org/2/library/sqlite3.html#sqlite3.Connection.text_factory [2] https://docs.python.org/3/library/sqlite3.html#sqlite3.Connection.text_factory

py3: sqlite3.connect() expects str arguments

cleanup: remove check only needed for hg versions before 4.4 ui.edit() has had the "action" argument since 6e6452bc441d (editor: use an unambiguous path suffix for editor files, 2017-08-30), which was first released in hg version 4.4. Since we support only versions higher than 4.5, we can drop this check.

split: remove an unnecessary (and confusingly typed) fallback revision `opts.get('rev') or '.'` is either a list of strings or just a string. It happened to work because `'.'[0] == '.'` on Python 2, but it won't work on Python 3 (for byte strings). The fallback value wasn't even needed (it was also set just after), so let's just remove it.

evolve: rename variable "children" to "child" where it's clearly singular

evolve: remove some unused variables

py3: back out 23323092f0a7 D6623 has now been accepted in Mercurial (commit 83666f011679), so evolve commit 23323092f0a7 (py3: convert _origdoc to sysstr to match __doc__, 2019-07-09) is not longer needed.

branching: merge with stable
