New submission from LonelyPixel <nospam@unclassified.de>:
I have installed twisted 2.4 for Debian Python 2.4 and after a recent apt-get upgrade, when Python 2.4 was to be upgraded, I get this error:
Setting up python2.4 (2.4.1-2sarge1) ... Compiling python modules in /usr/lib/python2.4 ... Compiling /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/twisted/test/stdio_test_halfclose.py ... File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/twisted/test/stdio_test_halfclose.py", line 20 ??? ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax
I'm amazed that this error is still there -- I saw it *months* ago! Sure makes Twisted look bad.
Yes, it is there in 2.4, and yes it has been fixed for ages in trunk. We just haven't done a new release. Also, the debian package maintainers could easily fix this, but apparently choose not to. Other packagers (among which FreeBSD) have no troubles at all. -- Groetjes, ralphm
