Hello everyone.
I am trying to run rfpkg on a Fedora Silverblue system but I'm getting this
error:
```
raceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/rfpkg", line 13, in <module>
from rfpkg.__main__ import main
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/rfpkg/__init__.py", line 18, in
<module>
import rpmfusion_cert
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/rpmfusion_cert/__init__.py", line 7
SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xc3' in file
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/rpmfusion_cert/__init__.py on line 7, but no
encoding declared; see http://python.org/dev/peps/pep-0263/ for details
```
I talked with otaylor yesterday about this and he told me that the #!
line(shebang) for rpmfusion-cert.py should specify a particular version. In
python3 you *don't* need an encoding declaration, and in python2 you *do* need
a encoding declaration and according to him, the file shouldn't even supposed
to work(even in normal Fedora and it's weird how it works). This is mentioned
in the error itself. The line 7 of the file rpmfusion_cert/__init__.py contains
a name " Sérgio Basto" and é is most probably not in ASCII and that's what
causes the error. Unfortunately I cannot edit a "linked" file on a live booted
silverblue system.
My suggestions:
1) Please use versioned shebangs
2) Keep an eye on python activities/decisions on Fedora and adjust ourselves
with them.
3) Use encoding declaration for python2 files (please) / Switch to python3
entirely.
I request to whoever in-charge to please take this issue seriously and fix it
ASAP.
Thanks.
Regards,
Akarshan Biswas
