Description John (J5) Palmieri 2010-09-27 19:33:10 UTC

Description of problem:

Current version can not be run under Python3 which means that any project that uses waf as a build system for python 3 modules will not build.  1.6.0 pre releases fix this issue.

Right now we can use waf scripts that come with the module but since they contain obfuscated code (to pack the entire script hierarchy into one file) this is not ideal.  We would like to use the one provided with the system.  This bug is just to notify the maintainer of the issue.  They may decide to add the pre release or wait for 1.6.0 to be released.

See bug 634700 for an example

Comment 3 Dave Malcolm 2010-09-27 23:58:51 UTC

Reopening; if I'm reading this right, it looks like this is an RFE that we should have 1.6.0 in rawhide, and that this bug should track that.  Since we don't yet, I believe it's appropriate to open this.  Hope that makes sense

Comment 4 John (J5) Palmieri 2010-09-28 01:39:05 UTC

1.6.0 isn't released yet.  There are two prereleases currently on their file server.

Comment 5 Thomas Moschny 2011-01-22 11:43:15 UTC

The latest build in rawhide (waf-1.6.2-4.fc15) should work with Python 2.X as well as with Python 3.X.
