A thread to assist in the conversion of python 2 to python 3. Anything you come across that you have found a conversion for can be placed in this thread. examples

python 2 : 
print x 
Python 3:
print( x )

python2 
wx.SystemSettings_GetFont(wx.SYS_DEFAULT_GUI_FONT)
python3:
wx.SystemSettings().GetFont(wx.SYS_DEFAULT_GUI_FONT)

python2:
outfile.write( "[advanced]" + "\n")
python3:
outfile.write( bytes("[advanced]" + "\n"), encoding = 'utf8' )

The standard Python way works fine for file writing:

with open("test.txt", "w") as fh:
    for idx in range(10):
        print(f"Line {idx}: Test", file=fh)  # The 'f' prefix means: format, Py3 only.

with open("test2.txt", "w") as fh:
    for idx in range(10):
        fh.write(f"Line {idx}: Test\n")

Thanks Dizzi - useful info :)

If you saved objects with pickel in older poser versions and want to load them in Poser 12 you will have to do something like that:

with open(filename, "r") as fd:
 lines = [line.rstrip("rn") for line in fd.readlines()]
 result = pickle.loads(bytes("n".join(lines), encoding='Latin 1'))

Can we make this thread a sticky/pin/whatever-you-call-it ?

The 3Dcheapskate (also available in DAZ and HiveWire3D flavours) occasionally posts sensible stuff. Usually by accident.
And it usually uses Poser 11, with units set to inches. Except when it's using Poser 6 or PP2014, or when its units are set to PNU.
