Bug Description
As seen in a test rebuild, nuitka fails some of it's tests with python3.5 in a test rebuild of 16.04 LTS using Python 3.5.2. The nuitka 0.19 and 0.20 releases carry a lot of python 3.5 related bug fixes. Instead of backporting, I'm proposing to backport the current version from yakkety to xenial. nuitka is a leaf package, not having any reverse dependencies or reverse build-dependencies.
Acceptance criteria:
Package builds (using the Python 3.5.2 package) on all architectures and package tests pass.
To post a comment you must log in.
While this is a leaf package and thus does not jeopardize other packages, the test plan should still include some actual functionality test of nuitka. E. g. some example python file which then gets compiled with the current and the proposed nuitka, and then making sure that they behave the same. This doesn't need to be elaborate, as nuitka has unit tests -- but it doesn't have an autopkgtest integration test, so we should still make sure that the packaging is okay.
