Runtime of net/straw is BROKEN when using with python 2.6: [mrk@smeshariki2 ~]> straw Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/straw", line 137, in <module> sdir = find_straw_lib() File "/usr/local/bin/straw", line 57, in find_straw_lib raise "FileNotFoundError", "couldn't find straw library dir" TypeError: exceptions must be old-style classes or derived from BaseException, not str In python2.6 exceptions cannot be a strings anymore. This can be easy fixed, but i believe there is no real reason to do so. Because our mainline python version in ports is 2.6 i suggest to start process of deprecation and removing this port from the tree. Last release was produced at May 14th 2007 [1] and project seems dead. User can be suggested to use more fast and modern replacement - net/liferea instead. [1] http://projects.gnome.org/straw/
Hi, Shall we restrict the python to 2.4-2.5 instead of removing it ? wen

This port already was marked for removal three years ago. (see commit history). But i fixed it and taked maintainership in hope that development will not be stopped. But it is. So it's up to you what to do with it. But i'd remove. -- Regards, Ruslan
