4.10.4.3. Metadata Must Now Use Python 3 Syntax

The metadata is now required to use Python 3 syntax. For help preparing metadata, see any of the many Python 3 porting guides available. Alternatively, you can reference the conversion commits for Bitbake and you can use OE-Core as a guide for changes. Following are particular areas of interest:

     * subprocess command-line pipes needing locale decoding
     * the syntax for octal values changed
     * the iter*() functions changed name
     * iterators now return views, not lists
     * changed names for Python modules
