Bug 13143

According to the Pmw sourceforge website http://sourceforge.net/projects/pmw/:

"Python megawidgets is Python 3 compatible through the Pmw 2 download. Pmw 1 is destined for Python 2. Both are now accessible through the new pypi compatible package (credits for which go to Andy Robinson and the team at ReportLab)."

And according to https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pmw/2.0.0:

"The package contains both Pmw 2.0.0 - the Python 3 version - and Pmw 1.3.3 - the Python 2 version - and installs the correct version automatically."

Therefore it looks like two python-pmw packages need to be distributed in Mageia.  The current package python-pmw-2.0.0-0.3.mga4.noarch is for Python3 (but is installed into the Python2.7 directories), and the Pmw 1.3.3 version needs to be packaged for Python2.  This is probably why python-pmw is broken in Mageia 4.

As a workaround, if it hasn't already been fixed in Mageia, run the following as root:

# urpme python-pmw    # Uninstall the broken python-pmw package.
# urpmi python-pip    # Install PIP for Python2.
# urpmi python3-pip    # Install PIP for Python3.
# pip install pmw    # Install the PyPI Pmw package for Python2.
# python3-pip install pmw    # Install the PyPI Pmw package for Python3.

Everything should now be functional.  Pwm-1.3.3 is installed in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Pmw/Pmw_1_3_3, and Pwm-2.0.0 in /usr/lib/python3.3/site-packages/Pmw/Pmw_2_0_0.

Suggested advisory:
========================

Updated python-pmw packages fix mga#13143
Python2 and Python3 versions are correctly handled.

Updated packages in core/updates_testing:
========================

python-pmw-2.0.0-0.3.1.mga4.noarch
python3-pmw-2.0.0-0.3.1.mga4.noarch

Whiteboard: has_procedure => has_procedure mga4-64-ok

Hi,

Under Mageia4 i586 after update testing, i do as Philippe in comment 5
The packages in udpate testing fix the bug. (both fo python / python 3)

CC: (none) => inster.css

Advisory uploaded.

Before validating Philippe, is there a reason for the strange release numbering of this one?

python-pmw-2.0.0-0.3.1.mga4

I notice it's mkrel 0.3 and subrel 1. Is this expected/correct?

Thanks

Whiteboard: has_procedure mga4-64-ok mga4-32-ok => has_procedure advisory mga4-64-ok mga4-32-ok

yes, it was because it was released in mageia4 with an upstream rc release I guess.

OK thanks.

Validating.

Could sysadmin please push to 4 updates

Thanks
