The function `iteritems()` of `dict`s is deprecated. The recommended
alternative is to use `items()`, this function also works with Python 2.
The next issue is that lambdas can no longer unpack tuple parameters
in Python 3. It would be possible to use some workaround and still use
a lambda, but using `operator.itemgetter(1)` instead is faster and the
recommended method in such a case.
The syntax is now compatible with Python 2 and 3 but the server script
still does not work with Python 3. For example `socket.recv()` returns
`bytes` in Python 3 and `str` in Python 2. Currently `str` is expected
so it does not work with Python 3.
In my tests there were about 1500 additional packages
available as bz2 on the server.
For some packages a newer version is now used if it is
only available as .tar.bz2 archive.
The donate-cpu.py client is tested to work with .tar.bz2
files under Python 2.7.15 and 3.6.8.
If no 'alternatives' argument was specified and the `<warn/>` element
did not contain any text Cppcheck crashed because of a null pointer
access.
If there is no 'reason' and no 'alternatives argument and also no text loadFunction() returns with an error.
Python 3 directly decodes the text when it is read(). If there is any
invalid UTF-8 character in the text an exception is thrown (IIRC it is
UnicodeDecodeError). Opening the file with `error='ignore'` avoids
throwing an exception and just ignores the invalid character. Since
this is only possible since Python version 3 there must be extra code
for older versions.
The test script has been enhanced. It now also uses a package which
contains a file with at least one invalid UTF-8 character.
* template simplifier: make sure all instantiations are found and expanded in #5097
* template simplifier: check output on another test
* template simplifier: add output to another test
* template simplifier: instantiate template class when something inside class instantiated.
* template simplifier: add output to another test that now works
As suggested by rikardfalkeborn here:

By compiling python scripts the syntax can be checked.
There are two compilations, one for Python 2 and one for Python 3 for
most scripts to make sure at least the syntax is valid for both
versions.
