When I try to use some inkscape extensions like markers_strokepaint.py or param_curves.py, an error box is raised containing the following message : Traceback (most recent call last): File "markers_strokepaint.py", line 19, in <module> import random, inkex, simplestyle, copy File "/usr/share/inkscape/extensions/inkex.py", line 29 u'sodipodi' :u'http://sodipodi.sourceforge.net/DTD/sodipodi-0.dtd', ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax The syntax error raised doesn't depend on the called extension.

This bug seems to desapear when switching to python 2 via eselect. Is it possible to force inkscape to use python2 ?
Created attachment 324022 [details] Archlinux compilation file
(In reply to comment #2) > Created attachment 324022 [details] > Archlinux compilation file People on Archlinux have the same problemn (http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=12457) . Some inkscape extensions don't suppport python 3. I attached the compilation file used by Archlinux. But I need some help to transpose it on a gentoo box. Thanks.
Fixed in 0.48.4.
