If I were you, I would probably stop putting shebangs into my Python scripts (so that they would be not executables), and write a shell wrapper script for every python script that figures out during runtime how python2 executable is called, and call python2 script using this python executables (or write single script with symbolic links to it with different names and use $0 shell variable to find which python script to call). you can factor out pieces into separate files and selectively import based on various criteria, like any other module. create an small bootstrap file that is python2/3 compatible and either run/import according to the binary you're running under, or re-exec under a different one (slightly rude form a user's perspective, but possible). a little funky, but you can test syntax using eval: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/446052/python-best-way-to-check-for-python-version-in-program-that-uses-new-language-f/446061#446061 ... and catch SyntaxError. per: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2011-March/108495.html http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2011-March/108499.html ... not sure if that's changed, but Arch isn't alone ... there was an incubation period of a couple years, until 3.2 release, for applications/libraries to catch up. python3 is here now, so let's give her a big welcome, and move on ;-) -- C Anthony

The aliases are generated from device and id lists in the relevant

Usually I don't have too much time for pulling my hear or for anything else that's why I like when things just works. Even if I need to fix things it's OK but sometimes I can't fix them just like that for few minutes. I read the news, I went to #archlinux, I sent a message here in the list but still nothing. Then I search the forum and tried different things until once it start working again. Few days I didn't touch anything at all. Really didn't have time. I still can't try any other OS here because I spent too much time setting this Arch up and configuring. It's my baby :)) It looks and works beautiful. Except after Syu; but not always. Most of the time things just work... Can't just say goodbye to Arch so easily. But if once it will happen that I really can't fix something, that will be the moment... I guess. Anyway, I'll try to buy another PC and install something else...

[arch-general] outdated packages
Good day everyone I have a suggestion. if you take a look at the packages in aur, most of them are always up to date, the reason that I can find is the flag out-of-date feature, this is very interesting because in aur you also have the possibility to propose a new PKGBUILD ( in the comments) that would set the package as up to date and usually the maintainer just have to check that everything is ok with the PKGBUILD and do copy-paste. is it possible to have something similar for core, extra and community repos? I know you can submit a bug, but at least in my case I got lazy to do that because is not a simple process, but in aur I do it frequently because you just have to press a simple button. Have a nice day

Re: [arch-general] A little weirdness at boot time
about the network card problem, have you tried adding: QUIRKS=predown to your netcfg config file On 8/29/09, Andre Ramaciotti da Silva andre.ramacio...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all! This email is divided in two parts: a curiosity and a problem. They are somewhat related, so I'm writing both together. The curiosity: Since I've installed Arch Linux in this notebook (in March), the time it takes to load the modules highly varies. With the current archinit scripts, it ranges from incredible 150ms to incredible 10 000ms. With the older archinit scripts, the time weren't exactly the same, but it did vary a lot, too. At first I thought a cold boot would take more than a reboot, but both things are completely unrelated: a cold boot can take only 150ms and a reboot 9 500ms and vice versa. I don't see this as a big problem, I'm just curious to know why. If anyone thinks I should report a bug, tell me what other kind of piece of information would be useful and I'll do it. The problem: Completely unrelated to the question above, the wireless card sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. It's unrelated because if the boot takes 150ms, the wireless may or may not work. The same applies if the boot takes 10 000ms. When I say it doesn't work, I mean that netcfg will fail and print an error: 'eth0: interface doesn't support scanning' Yes, I know it's weird, but I'm using the broadcom-wl module, and it sets eth0 as the wireless card.

Re: [arch-general] 2 annoying bugs in kde

I am using current KDE 4.2.4 from core and am experiencing these two little things that are not really disturbing but rather annoying: 1) Every time I quit okular it crashes and shows a crash message. A quick search of the web brought up that this was “a minor regression in kdelibs“ and should be fixed by now (sorry, I don’t remember the actual site I read this on). So my question is: Is anyone experiencing the same problem and has a fix? Or do we really just need to wait for an update of KDE? If so: Is an update planned or do we have to wait for 4.3 or 4.2.5? 2) Every time KDE starts up it shows (after a little while) the following message in a native X dialog: “Could not start ksmserver. Check your installation.” If I click on “OK” or kill the message window X restarts. A web search on this one revealed nothing really helpful so now I’m just leaving the message window open on an unused desktop. When doing this everything seems to work normal and as expected. In fact “ps -elf | grep ksmserver” reveals that the specified program is indeed running. Does anyone get this error, too, and perhaps knows how to fix it? Thank you in advance! Edgar

As far as global shortcuts go, I only installed yakuake recently and this happened before I installed it. It *might* be associated with switching virtual desktops, though. 2009/3/4 Bram Schoenmakers li...@bramschoenmakers.nl: On Wednesday 04 March 2009 01:35:57 Leonid Grinberg wrote: Hello Leonid, Every once in a while -- not too frequently to be unusable, but certainly enough to be annoying -- the keyboard in KDE will simply lock up. Mouse will still work fine, and keyboard inputs that don't go through KDE -- switching to virtual terminals, resetting X via ctrl-alt-backspace still work (and, indeed, resetting X and logging back in is the only thing that fixes it). I can't see any real pattern as to when this happens -- programs that I basically always have running, though, are Pidgin, Firefox and keytouchd, as well as, obviously, plasma, etc. I am running the vanilla KDE 4.2 packages. Thanks in advance. This is really starting to become annoying. Maybe it is the same bug which is open for quite some time in KDE Bugzilla [1]. I had this problem too before, on Gentoo Linux with KDE 3.5.x. This has something to do with the global shortcuts and I didn't notice that anyone had a real clue what triggered it. I wouldn't be surprised if it is still in KDE 4.x. Perhaps the Gentoo bug [2] may contains some pointers too. So, do you know if the problem is triggered by using global shortcuts (window manager related, or invoking Yakuake with F12)?

Re: [arch-general] icedtea6
ok, thanks for the info, I downloaded an older version from the svn repository and now its working again, definitely is a bug caused by the new version On Sat, Feb 28, 2009 at 9:06 PM, Bram Schoenmakers li...@bramschoenmakers.nl wrote: On Saturday 28 February 2009 12:32:20 Juan Diego wrote: Hello, hi, I did everything you said however it's still not working, it was working just before the last update, any other ideas? could you please tell me how can I get the older PKGBUILD, I would like to see if its because of the version change or maybe something else Look if the old version is still in pacman's cache, and run pacman -U on that package: pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/openjdk6-1.4-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz See http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Downgrade_packages for more info. By the way, I see the same problem after the update from 1.4-2 to 1.4.1-1. The java process consumes 100% CPU and doesn't seem to result in anything. But we'd better file a bug for this.
