[Python-modules-team] Bug#815656: python3-easywebdav: fails to upload files

[IOhannes m zmölnig (Debian/GNU)]

Package: python3-easywebdav
Version: 1.2.0-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

using the python3 version of this package, i found that it fails with an
exception, indicating that this package is not python3 ready.


~~~
>>> import easywebdav
>>> easywebdav.connect("example.com").upload("nada", "/dev/null")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/easywebdav/client.py", line 153, in
upload
    if isinstance(local_path_or_fileobj, basestring):
NameError: name 'basestring' is not defined
~~~

'basestring' is a python2 thing, in python3 all strings are 'str'.
