needs to build a python 3.4 extension

[Martin Pitt]

Current lxc fails when running tests with Python 3.4:

  http://people.canonical.com/~pitti/tmp/autopkgtest-py34/fail/py34-lxc/results/

  File "/usr/bin/lxc-ls", line 35, in <module>
    import lxc
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lxc/__init__.py", line 25, in <module>
    import _lxc
ImportError: No module named '_lxc'

The package currently only ships an extension for Python 3.3.

I don't really have time to look into this, however python3-lxc does build fine with python3.4.

It should be possible to build the python3 bits with another configure call + "make -C src/python-lxc", however please note that the LXC packaging must work with precise, quantal, raring, saucy and trusty, so hardcoding 3.4 in there isn't an option.

Right, this is a quite well understood process. debian/rules ought to
iterate over "py3versions -s", and in this case do the extra
multi-builds for everything but the default version (py3versions -d).

lets do that next week

[Matthias Klose (doko)]

fixed, but miss-typed the bug number

  * Build python3 extension for all supported python versions. LP: #127236.
  * Build-conflict with lua5.2*, the packaging is not ready for it.
