Hi,

it is also on -python, but with a bad subject that made it almost hide from
the automatic messages :)

thanks!

thanks for trying! I forwarded to lib3to2 developers the hint :)

I hope somebody will come with some alternative solution then ;)

Not sure why is this on -mentors when -python exists, but oh well...

838974: python-3to2: FTBFS: AssertionError: 'print(*args)\n\n' != 'print 
*args\n\n'

Does anybody have any clue why that test is now failing?


I'd put my bets on:
https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/1206c64de875


I'm also considering a Python bug here, because it seems a regression to me


Nope.

Have fun updating gen_printargs() or maybe map_printargs() in 
lib3to2/fixes/fix_print.py. I tried, but it only made my head hurt.

Hi Python Developers/mentors,

(fixing the object of the email and forwarding to mentors)

sometime ago, I packaged python-3to2, which is a dependency of 
python-guess-language
(Python2 package).
The guess-language is a Python3 package, and runs 3to2 to provide a Python2 
compatible
package (needed for w3af).

Now, w3af needs that Python2 package, and I don't want to make guess-language 
both 3 and 2 compatible,
because such change might be not trivial to do and I'm not a Python expert.

So I would like to fix once more python-3to2, who started to FTBFS in testsuite 
with Python3.5 (I guess)

thanks for your help,
