With python3 as main interpreter eshowkw issues backtrace: $ eshowkw Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/eshowkw", line 7, in <module> from gentoolkit.eshowkw import main as emain File "/usr/lib64/python3.1/site-packages/gentoolkit/eshowkw/__init__.py", line 17, in <module> from .keywords_header import keywords_header File "/usr/lib64/python3.1/site-packages/gentoolkit/eshowkw/keywords_header.py", line 9, in <module> from display_pretty import colorize_string ImportError: No module named display_pretty
hmm, changing the imports to .display_pretty for both keywords_header.py and keywords_content.py fix that error. display_pretty also needs a change since izip_longest has been renamed to zip_longest. diff --git a/pym/gentoolkit/eshowkw/display_pretty.py b/pym/gentoolkit/eshowkw/display_pretty.py index 270a0eb..325235d 100644 @@ -3,7 +3,10 @@ # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 from portage.output import colorize -from itertools import izip_longest +try: # newer python versions + from itertools import zip_longest +except ImportError: # older python naming + from itertools import izip_longest as zip_longest __all__ = ['string_rotator', 'colorize_string', 'align_string', 'rotate_dash', 'print_content', 'display'] @@ -17,7 +20,7 @@ def display(plain_list, rotated_list, plain_width, rotated_height, cp, toplist = if toplist != 'archlist': corner_image.extend(plain_list) data_printout = ['%s%s' % (x, y) - for x, y in izip_longest(corner_image, rotated_list, fillvalue=corner_image[0])] + for x, y in zip_longest(corner_image, rotated_list, fillvalue=corner_image[0])] if toplist == 'archlist': data_printout.extend(plain_list) output.extend(data_printout) But It did not produce any output for me. No traceback, no output, but works in 2.6 & 2.7 for me with the changes So, it needs more troubleshooting.
ok, py3 compatibility issues should be fixed in: commit f5def123a156abc90841da2ade2601f06623010d tested with py 2.6, 2.7, 3.2 There were a couple uses of map() which also needed to be changed due to the changes in py3.
this is fixed & released in >=gentoolkit-0.3.0.3
