This appears to be a(n old?) Py2-specific test, which won't byte- compile with Py3 because of the language changes in between. However, as this is simply a testcase, it doesn't really have to be installed at all. FWIW, Fedora just removes the tests entirely, and I would recommend the same. Presuming you are using python3-wheel (since pylint 2.x does not support Py2), try the following: src_install() { cd ${B} python3_wheel_install find ${D}${PYTHON3_SITELIB}/pylint/test/ -delete } -- Yaakov -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
