Package: dh-python Version: 2.20170125 Severity: normal I'm packaging sasview (https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-science/packages/sasview.git/)
sasview supports python2 only at the moment, so I've configured debian/rules with dh $@ --with python2 --buildsystem=pybuild However when I build, it fails at dh_auto_configure: dh_auto_configure -O--buildsystem=pybuild I: pybuild base:184: python2.7 setup.py config running config I: pybuild base:184: python3.6 setup.py config File "setup.py", line 55 print "Removing existing build directory", SASVIEW_BUILD, "for a clean build" ^ SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print(print "Removing existing build directory", SASVIEW_BUILD, "for a clean build")? sasview's setup.py of course has not yet been ported to python3, which is why I've only set --with python2. Since I specified a python2 build, then why is "python3.6 setup.py config" getting called? -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.13.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages dh-python depends on: ii python3 3.6.3-2 dh-python recommends no packages.
