Description Andrew Savchenko gentoo-dev

Hello,

I just want to fetch PDF data files as described in lhapdf einfo message:
 * To install data files, you have to run as root:
 * lhapdf-getdata --dest=/usr/share/lhapdf/PDFsets --all

But looks like lhapdf is not compatible with python3, when python-3.2 or 3.3 is active:

# lhapdf-getdata --dest=/usr/share/lhapdf/PDFsets --all
  File "/usr/bin/lhapdf-getdata", line 44
    except urllib2.URLError, e:
                           ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

With python-2.7 set as system default works fine.
