Python 2.x is reaching EOL real soon.  Can it run on Python 3?

> +    (description

Could you make a full sentence and remove the trailing spaces?  See
<https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Synopses-and-Descriptions.html>.

> +    (license license:gpl2)))

This means “version 2 only”.  Is there an explicit “version 2 only”
statement, for example in source file headers?  If not, it should be
‘gpl2+’.

Could you send an updated patch?

Thank you,
Ludo’.

hi, no, not the current upstream... I tried with python-3 and won't run

It looks like terminator is no longer maintained since 2017.

Hi, this is a popular program used by many people and in repos of Fedora
and Ubuntu.  2017 was only 2 years ago, so "not maintained" for two years
seems not unusual in the Free Software world.   In any case, that would not
prevent other python2 programs from being in Guix or other GNU/Linux
distributions.   Migration to Python 3 would be issue for the upstream or
for anyone taking over maintenance, common for widely used programs if the
needs rises.

Sure.  What I meant is that it’s unlikely that upstream will migrate it
to Python 3 and by the time Python 2 hits EOL this will be our problem.

Hi Andy,

atai <at> atai.org skribis:

I propose the small changes below.

However, it fails to run in this context:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ ./pre-inst-env guix environment --ad-hoc terminator --pure -- terminator
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/gnu/store/frwq9qja9m8i8dvk0lgj9mg5rnmc5377-terminator-1.91/bin/.terminator-real", line 33, in <module>
    gi.require_version('Gtk','3.0')
  File "/gnu/store/q4b7cr9j6f3g7v4xpg0zm3kkhd6l4dmg-python2-pygobject-3.28.3/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 130, in require_version
    raise ValueError('Namespace %s not available' % namespace)
ValueError: Namespace Gtk not available
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

It seems we’re missing an environment variable or something to allow
pygobject to find the GIR file for GTK+.  I’m sure this has been
addressed in other packages before, but I don’t remember how.

Anyone here?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
