Description Kunal Mehta 2014-12-24 00:26:34 UTC 
Description of problem:

If your environment's `python` is set to python3, the fpaste script won't work due to a syntax error.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fpaste 0.3.7.3.3

How reproducible: always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a virtualenv using python3 (virtualenv -p python3) and activate it
2. echo "hi" | fpaste

Actual results:

$ echo "hi" | fpaste
  File "/usr/bin/fpaste", line 87
    except ValueError, e:
                     ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Expected results: It should work.

Additional info:

This was originally filed as https://fedorahosted.org/fpaste/ticket/16, but hasn't had a response in 6 months. There's a patch to change the shebang to explicitly reference "python2" which should fix the issue

I additionally filed https://fedorahosted.org/fpaste/ticket/17 to port fpaste to python3 (which seems like a good idea in general given that it will be the default in F22).
Comment 1 Jaroslav Reznik 2015-03-03 16:39:07 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle.
Changing version to '22'.

Comment 2 Ankur Sinha (FranciscoD) 2015-05-22 10:54:40 UTC 
I hadn't realised this. Are you sure that python refers to py3 in F22? I'm on F22 and mines set to /usr/bin/python which points to /usr/bin/python2. Fpaste works here, at least for the time being. 

I can begin working on the porting, including your patches, but I'm not sure if this can be done before F22 release. 

Cheers,
Ankur

It does not. But if you use a virtualenv that is using Python 3, then "/usr/bin/env python" will use Python 3.

The original plan was to have Python 3 be installed by default in F22 (using /usr/bin/python3), but I think that was bumped to F23.
Comment 4 Ankur Sinha (FranciscoD) 2015-07-16 14:13:03 UTC 
A build for rawhide has been pushed with py3. I'll wait for a bit to see if folks running rawhide run into any issues before pushing updates for F23/F22.

Comment 5 Peter Robinson 2015-08-19 12:30:40 UTC 
So in a Fedora minimal install with only python3 this doesn't work work with the current F-23 fpaste :-(

$ dmesg | fpaste
/usr/bin/env: python: No such file or directory
$
Comment 6 Peter Robinson 2015-08-19 12:52:48 UTC 
Can confirm fpaste-0.3.8.0-1.fc24 works as expected on F-23 (dmesg | fpaste) on a python3 only system. Can we please get this pushed to F-23
Comment 7 Ankur Sinha (FranciscoD) 2015-08-20 18:28:06 UTC 
Will push an update when I get back to work tomorrow.
