twisted.python.dist3 : API documentation

Variable	modules	A list of modules that have been ported, e.g. "twisted.python.versions"; a package name (e.g. "twisted.python") indicates the corresponding __init__.py file has been ported (e.g. "twisted/python/__init__.py"). To reduce merge conflicts, add new lines in alphabetical sort.
Variable	testModules	A list of test modules that have been ported, e.g "twisted.python.test.test_versions". To reduce merge conflicts, add new lines in alphabetical sort.
Variable	testDataFiles	A list of filenames that are data files used by tests. These are generally used by another Python process that the test case spawns.
Variable	almostModules	A list of any other modules which are needed by any of the modules in the other two lists, but which themselves have not actually been properly ported to Python 3. These modules might work well enough to satisfy some of the requirements of the modules that depend on them, but cannot be considered generally usable otherwise.
Variable	modulesToInstall	A list of all modules that should be installed on Python 3.
Function	_processDataFileList	Turn a list of file names into a format that distutils likes.

def _processDataFileList(dataFiles): (source)

Turn a list of file names into a format that distutils likes.

For example:

    ["foo/bar.py", "baz/spam.py"]

...is transformed into...

    [("foo", ["foo/bar.py"]), ("baz", "baz/spam.py")]
