In Python 3, all of these were "consolidated" under urllib(.request,
.parse, .errors) which is inconvenient.
Since we already have hard dependencies on requests and
werkzeug(.urls, which is a backport of Python 3's unicode-aware
urllib.parse) migrate *everything* to that.
A sticking point is urllib2.URLError, those were (mostly) replaced by
the slightly more general IOError which URLError extends.
In Python 3:
* various builtins and dict methods were changed to return
view/iterable objects rather than lists
* and the separate Python 2 view/iterable builtins and methods were
removed altogether
This is problematic when using these items as list (which the happens
repeatedly in Odoo), but more viciously when iterating *multiple times*
over them (which also happens, which I've messed up multiple times while
writing this, and which is a pain to debug even when you've just created
the issue).
Convert all code using these to semantics-matching cross-version
helper functions to get the LCD behaviour between P2 and P3, and
forbid the builtins via lint.
issue #8530
Since saas-3, website controllers use `request.website.render`
to render the template of a web page. This was kept for retro
compatibility. It's time to stop using deprecated stuff.
Same for `_render` method on website.
'json' route don't use `request.render` since
`JsonRequest` has no `render` method.
Migration of website module to new API.
The tricky phase is ir_http.py : we need to use `request.env`
only when the authenfication phase is done. Normally by
calling `super` of `_dispatch` method, but website module
required it to be done before. This is important since
`env`is a lazy property of `request` object.
Some hack were kept since this commit is a migration ('RequestUID'
in ir.http, ...)
Some docstrings were added.
If they are this routes:
/partner/p-1
/partner/p-2
...
/partner/grade-1/p-1
/partner/grade-1/p-2
...
/partner/grade-2/p-1
/partner/grade-2/p-2
...
We want test only one time the routes:
/partner/p-1
/partner/grade-1/p-1
