[Douglas Mencken] > # fix (wrong in year 2011) python2-specific syntax > sed -i 's/IOError, e/IOError as e/' ./build/getversion.py
To clarify: Doug wanted this so he could build using Python 3. I've explained that we don't support Python 3 in the bindings, so it doesn't really make sense to use it for building source either. Further checking: the new exception syntax is new to Python 2.6. Given that this script is only used in dev builds (not from tarballs), someone remind me: what's our Py version requirement for dev builds? It is not specified in INSTALL. -- Peter Samuelson | org-tld!p12n!peter | http://p12n.org/
