When this change was originally made (0846b0c - git-remote-testpy:
hash bytes explicitly , I didn't realise that the "hex" encoding we
chose is a "bytes to bytes" encoding so it just fails with an error
on Python 3 in the same way as the original code.
It is not possible to provide a single code path that works on
Python 2 and Python 3 since Python 2.x will attempt to decode the
string before encoding it, which fails for strings that are not
valid in the default encoding. Python 3.1 introduced the
"surrogateescape" error handler which handles this correctly and
permits a bytes -> unicode -> bytes round-trip to be lossless. As
the original came from reading the filesystem path, we convert them
back into the original bytes encoded in sys.getfilesystemencoding().
At this point Python 3.0 is unsupported so we don't go out of our
way to try to support it.

This is harmless in Python 2, which sees the parentheses as redundant
grouping, but is required for Python 3. Since this is the only change
required to make this script just run under Python 3 without needing
2to3 it seems worthwhile.
The case of an empty print must be handled specially because in that
case Python 2 will interpret '()' as an empty tuple and print it as
'()'; inserting an empty string fixes this.

Python 3 forbids unbuffered I/O in text mode. Change the reading of
stdin in git-remote-testpy so that we read the lines as bytes and then
decode them a line at a time.
This allows us to keep the I/O unbuffered in order to avoid
reintroducing the bug fixed by commit 7fb8e16 (git-remote-testgit: fix
race when spawning fast-import).

Under Python 3 'hasher.update(...)' must take a byte string and not a
unicode string. Explicitly encode the argument to this method to hex
bytes so that we don't need to worry about failures to encode that might
occur if we chose a textual encoding.
This changes the directory used by git-remote-testpy for its git mirror
of the remote repository, but this tool should not have any serious
users as it is used primarily to test the Python remote helper
framework.
The use of encode() moves the required Python version forward to 2.0.

In the longer term, tightening rules is a good thing to do, and
because nobody who has worked in the remote helper area seems to be
interested in reviewing this, I would assume they do not think
such a retroactive tightening will affect their remote helpers. So
let's advance this topic to see what happens.
* fc/remote-testgit-feature-done:
remote-testgit: properly check for errors
Some python scripts we ship cannot be run with older versions of the
interpreter.
* er/python-version-requirements:
Add checks to Python scripts for version dependencies.
This script is not really exercising the remote-helper functionality,
but more the python framework for remote helpers that live in
git_remote_helpers.
It's also not a good example of how to write remote-helpers, unless you
are planning to use python, and even then you might not want to use this
framework.
So let's use a more appropriate name: git-remote-testpy.
A patch that replaces git-remote-testgit with a simpler version is on
the way.
