Package: tox Version: 2.3.1-4 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I am the maintainer of Tahoe-LAFS in debian and also an occasional
contributor to the project. The project recently switched to tox for
running unit tests. Tahoe-LAFS needs Python2.7 to run. On a fresh git
checkout of the project, if I run tox, I get this error (which is coming
From tahoe setup script that checks if python2 is indeed being used).
~/src/tahoe-lafs$ tox

I am totally new to tox. I am assuming that tox itself being a python3
program shouldn't affect running it *on* a python2 project. I would
request some help understanding what is going on.
Thanks
Ramakrishnan
