I would also like to add that libxcb will not build with Python 3.2.
I get the following error during make:
Making all in src
make[1]: Entering directory `/sources/libxcb-1.7/src'
/usr/bin/python3 ./c_client.py -p /usr/lib/python3.2/site-packages
/usr/share/xcb/xproto.xml
File "./c_client.py", line 1013
except getopt.GetoptError, err:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
make[1]: *** [xproto.c] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/sources/libxcb-1.7/src'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
When I tried to build libxml2, it did not detect Python.
libxslt also did not detect Python.
I suspect there will be a lot of other packages that will have trouble
with Python 3.2.
Are there any distros that only have the one version of Python installed
that is greater than 2.7?
Regards,
Wayne.
