Can you please checkout if this patch works for you?

[Comment 2 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2014-09-30 08:56:08 UTC]

Many (but not all) changes for print() result in changed output with Python 2.

Python 2:

>>> print "ab", "cd"
ab cd
>>> print("ab", "cd")
('ab', 'cd')

Python 3:

>>> print("ab", "cd")
ab cd


All instances of print("some string", something) should be changed to e.g. print("some string %s" % something), which results in identical output with Python 2 and 3.

Also behavior of Python 3 can be achieved in Python 2 by adding the following line at the beginning of script:

from __future__ import print_function

(This works only with Python >=2.6. It is ignored in Python 3.)

Can you please provide workable patch, work with upstream to resolve and submit it here as well?

Thanks!

ok, for now I forced python2.
