Bug 379015 – app-emulation/qemu-kvm-0.15.0 does not compile with default python3 system

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alon Bar-Lev 2011-08-13 08:24:18 UTC]

scripts/qapi-visit.py requires python2:

try:
    opts, args = getopt.gnu_getopt(sys.argv[1:], "p:o:", ["prefix=", "output-dir="])
except getopt.GetoptError: e: # <---- : should be as in python3
    print str(e)
    sys.exit(1)

Not sure how you want to solve it, can be patch or force python2.

Workaround:
PYTHON=python2 emerge ....

Adding python to inherit and then to pkg_setup():
	python_set_active_version 2

fixes this for me.

But N.B. qemu-0.15 was released knowing that there were problems with bios.bin anv vga qxl:

As mentioned in that thread installing bios.bin-2011-07-13 from:
http://spice-space.org/download/seabios/
gets it working for me.

Just hit his one.  I'm bumping it to CONFIRMED.

Same, using eselect to switch to python2 wroked around it.

[Comment 4 Alon Bar-Lev 2011-10-22 18:42:25 UTC]

Same for 0.15.1, simple to fix, why not deal with this?
There is python eclass for this.

Slipped through the cracks. Fixed in 0.15.1.

[Comment 6 Alon Bar-Lev 2011-10-22 23:32:37 UTC]

0.15.1 has also bug#388137 of seabios which is similar.

Hello,
