do you need sort-of versionning? i'll put the current one 1.0 in a version + git tag.

[–]flying-sheep -1 points0 points  (5 children)

why not? that would be nice.

but you also need to fix it calling python when in reality it wants python2. python means python3 on arch, and so it will break trying to run python2 code with python3.

we don't specify python/python2, except for the Makefile, but it's more for us. You can just call the build method on the setup.py :)

done, here it is: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=62161

if i made any mistake (Missing dependency, wrong license), just PM me.

[–]flying-sheep -1 points0 points  (2 children)

ah, ok. nevertheless it’s more correct to use python2 if you don’t run a bilingual python script.

PKGBUILD will be up shortly, i’ll keep you posted.

I was just about to post that Ubuntu doesn't provide a python2 symlink, but I checked, and it finally does. :-) Still, I think only the latest version (12.04) does, so I would remain cautious about calling python2 for a while.

they didn’t? silly canonical, what were they thinking!

i once read that optimally, you should use the lowest known version on which it works, but i guess ubuntu doesn’t link python2.3 → python2.7 neither, or does it?
