Bug 436218 – net-misc/pssh with dev-lang/python-3.2 - pssh --help: ImportError: No module named version

• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Rob Bruce 2012-09-25 13:22:50 UTC]

Although pssh does compile against python 3.2, when trying to use it, errors occur

$ pssh --help
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/pssh", line 26, in <module>
    from psshlib.cli import common_parser, common_defaults
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.2/site-packages/psshlib/cli.py", line 9, in <module>
    import version
ImportError: No module named version


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compile pssh
2. Use pssh

Here is a modified ebuild that works with python 3.2 (thanks Walter for the link):

I ran into the same issue today after python-updater rebuilt pssh. The patch and modified ebuild solved the problem for me.

Thanks,
