Fix print statements to be compatible with Python 3. (2.03 KB, patch)
2009-04-27 11:27 UTC, Yitz Gale 		none Details | Review

Description Yitz Gale 2009-04-26 19:17:20 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:
The rsvg python script obtains the python interpreter
from the current PATH on whatever platform it is running,
so it could be any version. But this script contains
print statements, which will not compile for version >= 3.
There may be other incompatibilities.

See similar bug #559947.

Patches welcomed. I'll apply those. The script only exists to replace a deprecated program, so this isn't much of a priority.

Fix print statements to be compatible with Python 3.

This patch delays the pain by fixing all print statements to be
compatible with both Python 2 and Python 3. However, more
extensive changes will be needed as Python 3 gradually drifts away
from Python 2. In particular, the string format operator "%"
is scheduled to be deprecated in Python 3.1.
Comment 3 Christian Persch 2012-01-13 20:39:56 UTC 
Would there be any objections to just removing this old, deprecated, compat, script?

No, none.

Done on master.
