Bug Description
While building the installer for 2.4b2/OSX 10.5 I encoutered the following:
byte-compiling /Users/
/Library/
File "/Library/
with fake_keyring(
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
byte-compiling /Users/
byte-compiling /Users/
/Library/
File "/Library/
with warnings.
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
This is not a big deal since this only means that the installer can't run the tests for launchpadlib but it's still a bit worrying.
Possible options include:
- design and carry a patch for launchpadlib (I doubt upstream will be interested),
- drop launchpadlib from the installer (ouch, some plugins depend on it so they will probably need to be dropped as well),
- stop building the installer for 10.5,
- switch to python-2.6 for OSX 10.5 (this will requires asking users to install python from python.org)
summary: |
- launcpadlib tests requires python 2.6 + launchpadlib tests requires python 2.6 |
Marking Critical as a decision needs to be made for 2.4.0 final.
