Bug 433100 – prefix portage: has legacy exception handling code

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo/Alt

[Description Greg Turner 2012-08-28 21:13:13 UTC]

I am presuming that portage has decided to abandon the annoyingly python3-incompatible "except Class, varname" syntax, hence its removal in master; we still have a couple in prefix.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
find . -name '*.py' |xargs grep -C0 -n --color=no 'except [^[:space:][:punct:]]*,' | tee /dev/stderr | wc -l
Actual Results:  
./pym/_emerge/actions.py:2478:                  except OSError, e:
./pym/_emerge/actions.py:2504:          except IOError, e:
2
