Richard, On Debian Unstable I am trying to install the html package for Python 3. For Python 2, I did a "pip install html" and it worked fine. Using "pip-3.2 install html" I got an error from the execution of the setup.py. I sent in a bug report but then thought actually it is not a packaging problem, something Jakub replied with to my bug report. I tried downloading the tarball and installing but got the same problem.
> File "/root/build/html/setup.py", line 12, in <module>

> long_description = __doc__.decode('utf8'),

>AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'
__doc__ is of type str which has a method decode in Python 2, but decode
is a method on bytearray in Python 3. I removed the decode call and it
installed fine with Python 3.
Perhaps there needs to be a Python 2 / Python difference in the setup.py
file?
Thanks.
