Install error with Python 3 #2

chasecaleb · 2014-07-10T17:17:54Z

I'm getting an install error for your package on Arch Linux using pip with Python 3, but it works fine with Python 2 (pip2). As best as I can tell it's not a config error on my part, but I could be misinterpreting the log. Here it is:

@chasecaleb thanks for raising the issue with me. I am not using python3, and can't guarantee the code will work using python3, but will try to investigate it. It seems likely to be some kind of compatibility issue between pip2 and pip3.

liamw9534 · 2014-07-11T10:50:47Z

Just to clarify the versions and distribution I am using in the following test:

python3 = 3.2.3
pip3 = 1.5.6

I am launching installation with the following command sudo pip3 install bt-manager and obtaining the following output:

The error output above, during install, is caused by print now becoming a function in python 3 which means all print statements must be parenthesized. So that code won't work in python 3, however, the package has actually installed as we can see by running sudo pip3 show bt-manager:

Name: BT-Manager
Version: 0.3.0
Location: /usr/local/lib/python3.2/dist-packages
Requires: setuptools, cffi

This suggests you have some kind of python3 or pip3 installation problem. You might want to try the following to get the most up-to-date pip packages on your system:

sudo pip3 install --upgrade pip
sudo pip2 install --upgrade pip

Ah, I didn't realize Python 3 isn't supported. That solves my problem, thank you. If you want to add Python 3 support, you might be able to do it automatically by enabling 2to3 if you use setuptools (http://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/python3.html), but don't worry about doing it just for me.

liamw9534 · 2014-07-16T23:47:23Z

@chasecaleb I'll ping you once Python 3 support is added. It may be some way out since the project this work is feeding into hasn't yet fully migrated to Python 3 yet, so this will drive it.
