Details

Description:
hplip is a toolset to handle hp printers written in python2.
Some tools of this suite aren't modified so they use python2.

Additional info:
hplip 3.12.4-1

Steps to reproduce:

[micha@myhost ~]$ /usr/share/hplip/upgrade.py
File "/usr/share/hplip/upgrade.py", line 117
except getopt.GetoptError, e:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Steps to fix:
sudo sed -i 's/python/env python2/' /usr/share/hplip/upgrade.py

[micha@myhost ~]$ /usr/share/hplip/upgrade.py

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  fixed in 3.12.4-4; I doubt we need to fix all python calls inside base/magic.py. That shouldn't harm funcionality.

why is the switch from python to python2 is not made on ALL python script ???

this is done on other package with this simple line:
find -name *.py -exec sed -i "s|/usr/bin/python|/usr/bin/python2|" {} \;
and/or
find -name *.py -exec sed -i "s|/usr/bin/env python|/usr/bin/env python2|" {} \;

you don't have to bother to create a sed line for each file

Good idea, however, the file hplip/base/magic.py does contain "/usr/bin/python" also in other places, e.g. line 254 and following:

[0L, 'string', '=', '#!/usr/bin/python', 'application/x-python'],

this would be replaced, too, by the find-name ... sed command. not sure if this is intended.
