As a Python casual: what's the > suggested thing to do here? I would suggest dual compatibility like what ceph-volume provides. In our case, it doesn't matter what you use, the code just works no need to change/remove anything. That would be at odds to what Nathan is suggesting though, which is a hard change to Python 3. > > [1] https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/external-storage/blob/master/ceph/cephfs/cephfs_provisioner/cephfs_provisioner.py#L27 > > -- > Patrick Donnelly > _______________________________________________ > Sepia mailing list > Sepia@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/sepia-ceph.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
