help: show help for disabled extensions (issue5228) This patch does not exactly solve issue5228 but it results in a better condition on this issue. For disabled extensions, we used to parse the module and get the first occurrences of docstring and then return the first line of that as an introductory heading of extension. This is what we get today. This patch returns the whole docstring of the module as a help for extension, which is more informative. There are some modules which don't have much docstring at top level except the heading so those are unaffected by this change. To follow the existing trend of showing commands either we have to load the extension or have a very ugly parsing method which don't even assure correctness.

py3: make scmutil.rcpath() return bytes This patch make sure scmutil.rcpath() returns bytes independent of which platform is used on Python 3. If we want to change type for windows we can just conditionalize the return variable.

py3: use pycompat.ossep at certain places Certain instances of os.sep has been converted to pycompat.ossep where it was sure to use bytes only. There are more such instances which needs some more attention and will get surely.

py3: have pycompat.ospathsep and pycompat.ossep We needed bytes version of os.sep and os.pathsep in py3 as they return unicodes.

py3: add a bytes version of os.name os.name returns unicodes on py3. Most of our checks are like os.name == 'nt' Because of the transformer, on the right hand side we have b'nt'. The condition will never satisfy even if os.name returns 'nt' as that will be an unicode. We either need to encode every occurence of os.name or have a new variable which is much cleaner. Now we have pycompat.osname. There are around 53 occurences of os.name in the codebase which needs to be replaced by pycompat.osname to support Python 3.

py3: make util.datapath a bytes variable In this patch we make util.datapath a bytes variable, but we have to pass a unicode to gettext.translation otherwise it will cry. Used pycompat.fsdecode() to decode it back to unicode as it was converted to bytes using pycompat.fsencode().
