Details

Description:

Trying to run "pss" or "psk", which are installed as /usr/bin/pss and /usr/bin/psk by this package leads to a SyntaxError, because the scripts are not compatible with Python 3.

$ pss
File "/usr/bin/pss", line 21
print "%s not implemented yet" % o
^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print("%s not implemented yet" % o)?

For example they use "print" as a statement:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/python/python-inet_diag/python-inet_diag.git/tree/psk.py#n113

Additionally, the shared libray of the extension is not Python 3 compatible too:

$ python
Python 3.9.1 (default, Dec 13 2020, 11:55:53)
[GCC 10.2.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import inet_diag
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/inet_diag.cpython-39-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: PyString_FromString


Trying to build the package also shows the root of this error as a warning:

@SpotlightKid: Thanks for the report. It looks like upstream is rather dead. No movement since 2016.
Seems this needs to be dropped, as tuna is now python3.

2 yrs later we're still building this non-functional pkg...time to drop?

Ah yes. Just forgot about this ticket.
