Bug 450654 – dev-python/python-novaclient: uses unittest2 in py2.7 & py3.2+

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Michał Górny 2013-01-06 19:46:46 UTC]

The package unconditionally imports unittest2. I think that shouldn't be necessary in py2.7/3.2+.

If that is the case, then why does the virtual/python-unittest2 ebuild support those python versions?

PYTHON_COMPAT=( python{2_5,2_6,2_7,3_1,3_2,3_3} pypy{1_9,2_0} )

[Comment 2 Matthew Thode ( prometheanfire ) 2013-01-14 02:50:25 UTC]

Think I fixed it by changing the virtual/python-unittest2 to virtual/python-unittest2[${PYTHON_USEDEP}]

Let me know if it's still broken :D

This bug is not about the dependencies, but about that actual installed code.

[Comment 4 Mike Gilbert 2013-01-14 03:18:55 UTC]

Sorry, I mean the test suite, not the installed code. See tests/utils.py.

Because we migrated all the packages prematurely to it and don't want random failures ;).

I'm going to close this, as it is using [${PYTHON_USEDEP}] and will be fixed when the virtual is fixed.
