I never experienced such timeouts, but I guess I don't work on very large packages or things that take more than a few minutes to build. If what you describe really is caused by the default runners not being fast enough, why couldn't we ask the Salsa team for more powerful ones? Have you talked to them about this? It seems to me that spending money in QA like CI runners is very profitable for the project, as it saves everyone a lot of time dealing with unnecessary failure caused by lack of tests.

The name doesn't exist, most likely because one of the ImportErrors didn't happen. And it didn't happen because you ran 2to3 on code that already supports both 2 and 3, thus turning the py2 parts into the py3 ones... -- WBR, wRAR signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Python3 issue with Tkinter (Was: Bug#938447: scoary: Python2 removal in sid/bullseye)
Hi, I think I ported scoary successfully to Python3 in Git[1]. The command line applications seem to work but the GUI is just ending with Need the following installed: Tkinter, tkFileDialog, ttk For the more simple inspection I copy here the beginning which leads to this: import sys, os import threading try: import tkinter except ImportError: #Python 3 issues try: import tkinter as Tkinter except: sys.exit("Need to have Tkinter / tkinter installed") try: import tkinter.filedialog except ImportError: # Python 3 issues try: from tkinter import filedialog tkFileDialog = filedialog except: sys.exit("Could not find tkFileDialog / filedialog") try: import tkinter.ttk except ImportError: # Python 3 issues try: from tkinter import ttk as ttk except: sys.exit("Could not find ttk / tkinter.ttk") try: ttk Tkinter except NameError: sys.exit("Need the following installed: Tkinter, tkFileDialog, ttk") I have no idea what the call to tkk is supposed to do and why it ends up in a NameError. Any hints? Kind regards Andreas. [1] https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/scoary -- http://fam-tille.de

Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal User: debian-python@lists.debian.org Usertags: py2removal https://pypi.org/project/EnthoughtBase/ is dead and I cannot find the new source. The current upstream source was uploaded to Debian in 2011. Popcon is 203, not sure why. It has only a reverse build-dep in stable and oldstable, not reverse deps there.

Thanks as well. > P.S.: The code is in a bad state regarding whitespace / indentation. > This is critical to get right in Python (e.g. after a for there _has to_ > be an indentation added, Python normally uses four spaces, no tabs). I'm aware that the code is not good - there are other issues than spaces and tabs for instance I removed an instance of os.tempnam where upstream simply had overridden the automatic warning. Its unmaintained upstream as well. I've seen other code in Debian which is not good as well. Its rather a philosophical question whether it is better to drop it from Debian (and leave its users alone may be fiddling around with the upstream code themselves) or whether we try our best to make the code at least acceptable. I usually subscribe to the latter and think there is no right or wrong here. I'm not really sure whether we might manage in this case. After implementing all hints I'm now stumbling upon: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/cycle", line 83, in OnCloseWindow Save_Cycle(cycle.name, cycle.passwd, cycle.file) File "/usr/share/cycle/save_load.py", line 46, in Save_Cycle tmp = rt.encrypt('Cycle{}'.format(pickle.dumps(objSave))) File "/usr/share/cycle/p_rotor.py", line 63, in encrypt return self.cryptmore(buf, 0) File "/usr/share/cycle/p_rotor.py", line 88, in cryptmore c = rotors[i][c ^ pos[i]] TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for ^: 'str' and 'int' I think an "int(c) ^ pos[i]" could do here - but I'd like to get some confirmation first.

The GCE runners are horribly slow (they are the smallest to avoid cost). As a result, some tests may just fail because of that, and it becomes just frustrating / annoying noise. Would anyone but me (ie: my company) be able to provide decent runners? Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)

As much as WE are concerned, probably. However, there's still multiple cases where you still care having compat with both versions of Python. First, the case where upstream does care about Py2. You probably wont succeed convincing them it is too late and they should stop caring. There's also the case where, as a package maintainer, you see a Python package that currently has only Py2 support. In some case, you need to first introduce Python 3 compat without breaking Python 2 support, so you that way get enough time to fix the reverse dependencies. I am not buying into the argument that adding a dependency on six.py is a problem. It generally isn't. If upstream cares about dependency-less stuff, then probably you should ignore upstream and do the work in Debian alone, until upstream fixes his code to do Python 3 only.

On 2019-09-13 15:42, Andreas Tille wrote: Hi, as Peter Green found out the cloudpickle source package droped Python2 support which makes bug #938494 serious. I guess it would be even harder to drop python-skimage right now since this would affect python-numpy and according to $ apt-cache rdepends python-numpy | sort | uniq | wc -l 339 reverse dependencies. I have no better solution than just pinging bug #938494 from time to time - and to ping this list to work harder on Python3 migration. It is something of a problem, so I'm cc:ing debian-python. There have been a number of packages dropping python2 support out-of-sequence, causing this problem. Not just cloudpickle, also pyqtgraph, which still had pymca as a dependent. Fortunately pymca was already ready to drop the dependency, but still, how many other examples are there? Python maintainers, remember, check your reverse dependencies before dropping your python2 packages. Check each of build-rdeps python-yourmodule apt-rdepends -r python-yourmodule and confirm the package has rdeps=0 on Sandro's list at http://sandrotosi.me/debian/py2removal/index.html Drew
