basestring is incompatible with python 3

[PatrickVanRietschoten]

When I try to run dopy in combination with python 3 I get the following error:

name 'basestring' is not defined

Uncommenting the following line works for me:

https://github.com/Wiredcraft/dopy/blob/master/dopy/manager.py#L83

I do have to make sure that ssh_keys is an array.

(Thank you author for this very good plugin!)

I found a version of dopy working with python3: https://github.com/rolylolypoly/dopy

Adding:

try:
basestring
except NameError:
basestring = str

at the top of manager.py fix this.

seems this project here is not maintained anymore, since it is outdated and there are a lot of forks ahead of this...
The annoying thing is, that this is the (outdated) module that is pulled by pip install dopy ;-(

Therefore i installed a forked repo manually instead from:
https://github.com/dfundingsland/dopy
This fork works in Python 3 so far.

There is also an ongoing discussion to integrate DigitalOcean API into the Ansible Core that can be found under this issue:
ansible/ansible#29740
But the integration seems to be not finished yet.

Howdy,

For info I tried to use https://github.com/dfundingsland/dopy fork with Ansible 2.7.9 and incidentally realized that it creates a new droplet at each invocation even if a droplet with the same name exists.

It looks like the function all_active_droplets() of this fork does only return a single droplet. Beware if you're planning or using this fork 💣
