A planning page for python-musicbrainz3

The python-musicbrainz3 package is the successor of python-musicbrainz2. NGS is coming, so a rewrite is in order to keep up with MB development. This wiki page collects information, plans, and ideas for this project. Feel free to edit!

The goal for the rewrite:

* Fully support the NGS data model and web service
* Require Python 2.6 and aim to be as close to Python 3 as possible
* Make it more pythonic where possible (naming conventions?)
* Remove rarely used cruft (what would hat be?)
* Keep the amount and quality of documentation
* Write more test cases

Links

* Matt's original blog announcement
* TODO: relevant documentation

Project Infrastructure

* Soon: git repository
* TODO: Review board?
* TODO: Jira?

Ideas

* Use an XML mapping package (xml.etree?)
