the 'RPMBuild' command Failes to build PySkein

Thanks for giving this a go! So is this only failing on 32-bit?

That error looks like Python2 is trying to import the filestore.py file, which happens to have a non-ascii character in it.

In Python3 the default encoding is UTF-8. Plus PySkein is Python3-only, thus filestore is also. I'm not that savvy with RPM spec files... but you just need to make sure it's only being built with Python3.

Hope that helps. Please bug me if you're still having trouble!

[Jason Gerard DeRose (jderose)]

Hmm, bit confused... the above trace looks like a problem with building filestore... but as far as this PySkein build error:

http://paste.ubuntu.com/662377/

Could you try running:

python3 setup.py build

And see if that works? You'll need the Python3 dev package installed, which I believe is called python3-devel on most RPM based systems.

[PCWinWeb (devlabn)]

python3-devel is installed

musicsuse@linux-eao4:~/NovaCut Dev/ps> python3 setup.py build
running build
running build_py
running build_ext
running build_scripts

nothing else

[Jason Gerard DeRose (jderose)]

Well, it looks like it builds fine when you run `python3 setup.py build` directly.

Wait, I was just looking at http://paste.ubuntu.com/662377/ again...

Look at the 4th from last line:

  + env 'CFLAGS=-O2 -g -m32 ...' python setup.py build

Looks like it using `python` instead of `python3`. Can you pastebin me the RPM spec file you're using? I think you might just need to update the build and install commands to using python3 instead of python.

thanks for pointing that!
