Fix a couple of syntax errors to support running under python 3. (2.08 KB, patch)
2017-09-10 01:10 UTC, Troy Curtis 		none Details | Review

Description Troy Curtis 2017-09-10 00:58:37 UTC 
If a python 3 version is specified using the PYTHON environment variable, configure fails in the python version check.  Additionally, util.py uses basestring which is python2 only.

Fix a couple of syntax errors to support running under python 3.

Addressing my own bug, here is a patch which does the two small changes necessary to run correctly under python 3.

I've taken a look at this issue while working with the Fedora community on their transition to python 3 [0].  My plan will be if the patch is accepted, to update the fedora packages when the next release occurs.

Comment 2 André Klapper 2021-05-25 17:44:39 UTC 
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new enhancement request ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/alacarte/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
