Bug 315823 – net-misc/geekcredit: Verify and potentially improve Python-related code

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis (RETIRED) 2010-04-18 02:16:08 UTC]

- If this package can be used as a library and installs Python modules
  (*.so or *.py) into site-packages directories, then consider supporting
  installation for multiple Python versions.
  Please read section "Types of packages" in documentation [1] to decide
  if this package can support installation for multiple Python versions.

- Ensure that the ebuilds do not use deprecated functions or variables.

- Please check if Python 3 is supported by this package. You can temporarily
  set Python 3 as main active version of Python to properly test if this
  package supports Python 3.

- If this package does not support Python 3:
  - Specify dependency on Python 2.
    You can use PYTHON_DEPEND helper variable, which should be set before
    inheriting of python eclass.
    Please read section "Specification of dependency on Python" in
    documentation [1].

  - If this package cannot support installation for multiple versions of
    Python, then set active version of Python using
    python_set_active_version().

  - Ensure that shebangs in installed scripts specify correct version of
    Python. If shebangs are too generic (e.g. '#!/usr/bin/python'), then you
    can use python_convert_shebangs() to convert shebangs.
    (Wrapper scripts generated by python_generate_wrapper_scripts() do not
    require any changes.)
    Please read section "Shebangs in installed scripts" in documentation [1].

  - To ensure that changes applied to the ebuilds are sufficient, please
    temporarily set Python 3 as main active version of Python and test if
    this package can be properly installed and if it works at run time.

Please see documentation [1] for more details.

Latest is from 2004, does anyone use this?

[Comment 2 Ian Delaney (RETIRED) 2011-11-23 09:40:38 UTC]

EAPI="3"
DEPEND=">=dev-lang/python-2.4
seem to be all required here, decided not enough to warrant making a patch for better or worse, and I don't think anyone uses this

This package doesn't support Python 3:

$ /usr/bin/GCPocket.py --help
  File "/usr/bin/GCPocket.py", line 33
    print "Usage: GcPocket.exe with one of commands:"
                                                    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

ebuild patch

sorry for that last rubbish, was too tired at the time.  Made a reg patch.
Now I finally see how the shebang fixer takes its arguments and works.  Didn't take too many dozens!!

I wonder if anyone is still using this (dead since 2004), I would simply treeclean it
