Bug 411621 – dev-vcs/rapidsvn-0.12.0 does not work with (system?) dev-lang/python-3.2.2

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Marc Gray 2012-04-11 18:10:49 UTC]

The package dev-vcs/rapidsvn-0.12.0 requires python 2. I've personally fixed this by eselecting python 2 as the default and re-emerging. This is due to tools/msgfmt.py:86. The issue persists in the nightly build direct from tigris. It seems the ebuild needs to force python 2 for this compile.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Fresh-ish install with python 3.2.2 default.
2. emerge rapidsvn

Actual Results:  
for i in de fr hu it_IT pt_BR ru es uk zh_CN ja ; do \
    python ../../../tools/msgfmt.py -o ./$i/rapidsvn.mo ./$i/rapidsvn.po ; \
done
  File "../../../tools/msgfmt.py", line 86
    0x950412deL,       # Magic


Expected Results:  
Successful install

Actual results if I'm not an idiot and paste it properly:

for i in de fr hu it_IT pt_BR ru es uk zh_CN ja ; do \
    python ../../../tools/msgfmt.py -o ./$i/rapidsvn.mo ./$i/rapidsvn.po ; \
done
  File "../../../tools/msgfmt.py", line 86
    0x950412deL,       # Magic
              ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

repeated lots.
