Python 3 support would be nice. Lots of other packages depending on it: https://github.com/BradRuderman/pyhs2/issues/44 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31701493/problems-installing-pyhs2-in-python3 Currently compiling on Python 3 fails with "PyString_AsString" and other errors.
I have just seen there is a branch for Python 3 at https://github.com/laserson/python-sasl/tree/py3 Just tried, it does compile under Python 3.4.3. now the question is whether it works too.
+1 if this could be merged
I was able to compile lasersons py3 branch, but I get this when I try to establish a connection: ``` /export/home/kweiler/ip3-test/anaconda3/lib/python3.4/site-packages/impala/dbapi.py in connect(host, port, protocol, database, timeout, use_ssl, ca_cert, auth_mechanism, user, password, kerberos_service_name, use_ldap, ldap_user, ldap_password, use_kerberos) 80 ca_cert=ca_cert, user=user, password=password, 81 kerberos_service_name=kerberos_service_name, ---> 82 auth_mechanism=auth_mechanism) 83 return hs2.HiveServer2Connection(service, default_db=database) 84 if protocol.lower() == 'beeswax': /export/home/kweiler/ip3-test/anaconda3/lib/python3.4/site-packages/impala/hiveserver2.py in connect(host, port, timeout, use_ssl, ca_cert, user, password, kerberos_service_name, auth_mechanism) 584 transport = get_transport(sock, host, kerberos_service_name, 585 auth_mechanism, user, password) --> 586 transport.open() 587 protocol = TBinaryProtocol(transport) 588 if six.PY2: /export/home/kweiler/ip3-test/anaconda3/lib/python3.4/site-packages/thrift_sasl/__init__.py in open(self) 84 if status == self.COMPLETE: 85 break ---> 86 ret, response = self.sasl.step(payload) 87 if not ret: 88 raise TTransportException(type=TTransportException.NOT_OPEN, /export/home/kweiler/ip3-test/anaconda3/lib/python3.4/site-packages/sasl-0.2.0-py3.4-linux-x86_64.egg/sasl/saslwrapper.py in step(self, challenge) 181 182 def step(self, challenge): --> 183 return _saslwrapper.Client_step(self, challenge) 184 185 def encode(self, clearText): TypeError: in method 'Client_step', argument 2 of type 'std::string const &' ``` This looks like a type-error in C. I've tried casting the challenge object as a few different things with no success.
