Description Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-04-18 02:54:44 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.

Committed.
Comment 4 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2011-02-07 18:44:03 UTC
Should be fixed in telepathy-butterfly-0.5.15
Comment 5 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-02-07 18:55:16 UTC
There are syntax errors with Python 3.

Please add:

pkg_postinst() {
	python_mod_optimize butterfly
}

pkg_postrm() {
	python_mod_cleanup butterfly
}
Comment 6 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2011-02-07 19:04:25 UTC
Done, thanks a lot

Wouldn't be possible to add some kind of test or warning for preventing errors like this? 
Comment 7 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-02-07 19:13:43 UTC
You still need to update dependencies and restrict 3.* Python ABIs.
Calling python_mod_optimize() allows to detect syntax errors.
Comment 8 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-02-07 19:18:17 UTC
This package depends on >=net-libs/libproxy-0.3.1[python], but net-libs/libproxy currently doesn't support installation for multiple Python ABIs.

Then, looks like package passes configure and compiles with python3 but later python_optimize fails :-S

Isn't there any way for checking python stuff is not being "optimized"?
