Bug 275675 – dev-util/qmtest-2.4 doesn't work with Python 2.6

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description mathwizard 2009-06-28 11:05:42 UTC]

Trying to run qmtest create-tdb in order to follow the online tutorial, an error occurs.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge qmtest
2. mkdir tdb;cd tdb
3. qmtest create-tdb

Actual Results:  
/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/qm/platform_unix.py:24: DeprecationWarning: the MimeWriter module is deprecated; use the email package instead
  import MimeWriter
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/qmtest", line 74, in <module>
    import qm.test.cmdline
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/qm/test/cmdline.py", line 1913
    as = { "format" : format }
     ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax


Expected Results:  
Some test database should have been created.

I am using python-2.6.2, which should be responsible at least for the deprecation warning. Line 1913 in the referenced file appears fine to me.

"as" is a reserved keyword in 2.6 :)
